Minimum Expected Loss (MELO) Estimators for Functions of Parameters and Structural Coefficients of Econometric Models
参数函数与计量模型结构系数的最小期望损失估计
Abstract Further sampling properties of previously derived (Zellner 1975) MELO estimates for reciprocals and ratios of parameters and for structural coefficients of econometric models are presented. Approximate small-sample moments and risk functions of MELO estimators for these problems are derived and compared with those of other well-known estimators. The exact finite sample distribution of the MELO reciprocal mean estimator is derived and compared with that of the…
