Estimating and testing for smooth structural changes in moment condition models
矩条件模型中平滑结构变化的估计与检验
Numerous studies have been devoted to estimating and testing for moment condition models. Most existing studies assume that structural parameters are either fixed or change abruptly over time. This study considers estimating and testing for smooth structural changes in moment condition models where the data-generating process is locally stationary. A novel local generalized method of moments estimator and its boundary-corrected counterpart are proposed to estimate the…
