QML and Efficient GMM Estimation of Spatial Autoregressive Models with Dominant (Popular) Units
具有主导单元的空间自回归模型的 QML 与有效 GMM 估计
This article investigates QML and GMM estimation of spatial autoregressive (SAR) models in which the column sums of the spatial weights matrix might not be uniformly bounded. We develop a central limit theorem in which the number of columns with unbounded sums can be finite or infinite and the magnitude of their column sums can be O(nδ) if δ<1. Asymptotic distributions of QML and GMM estimators are derived under this setting, including the GMM estimators with the best linear…
