ON GMM INFERENCE: PARTIAL IDENTIFICATION, IDENTIFICATION STRENGTH, AND NONSTANDARD ASYMPTOTICS
GMM 推断:部分识别、识别强度与非标准渐近理论
This paper analyses aspects of generalized method of moments (GMM) inference in moment equality models in settings where standard regularity conditions may break down. Explicit analytic formulations for the asymptotic distributions of estimable functions of the GMM estimator and statistics based on the GMM criterion function are derived under relatively mild assumptions. The moment Jacobian is allowed to be rank deficient, so first order identification may fail, the values…
