无效工具变量下 IV 估计量的高阶近似AI 解读

This paper analyzes the higher-order approximation of instrumental variable (IV) estimators in a linear homoskedastic IV regression model when a large set of instruments with potential invalidity is present. We establish theoretical results on the higher-order mean-squared error (MSE) approximation of the two-stage least-squares (2SLS), the limited information maximum likelihood (LIML), the Fuller (FULL), the bias-adjusted 2SLS, and jackknife version of the LIML and FULL…

线性 GMM 的双重修正稳健方差估计量AI 解读

We propose a new finite sample corrected variance estimator for the linear generalized method of moments (GMM) including the one-step, two-step, and iterated estimators. Our formula also corrects the over-identification bias in variance estimation on top of the commonly used finite sample correction of Windmeijer (2005), which corrects the bias from estimating the efficient weight matrix, so is doubly corrected. An important feature of the proposed double correction is that…

级数项数设定搜索下的非参数级数估计推断AI 解读

Nonparametric series regression often involves specification search over the tuning parameter, that is, evaluating estimates and confidence intervals with a different number of series terms. This paper develops pointwise and uniform inferences for conditional mean functions in nonparametric series estimations that are uniform in the number of series terms. As a result, this paper constructs confidence intervals and confidence bands with possibly data-dependent series terms…
