GENERALIZED EMPIRICAL LIKELIHOOD–BASED MODEL SELECTION CRITERIA FOR MOMENT CONDITION MODELS
基于广义经验似然的矩条件模型选择准则
This paper proposes model selection criteria (MSC) for unconditional moment models using generalized empirical likelihood (GEL) statistics. The use of GEL-statistics in lieu of J-statistics (in the spirit of Andrews, 1999, Econometrica 67, 543–564; and Andrews and Lu, 2001, Journal of Econometrics 101, 123–164) leads to an alternative interpretation of the MSCs that emphasizes the common information-theoretic rationale underlying model selection procedures for both…
