提高基于矩条件检验的功效AI 解读

This paper shows how to increase the power of the Hansen (1982) test for the case where only a subset of the exclusion restrictions is used. The ‘ignored’ exclusion restrictions are used to derive a new estimator for the covariance matrix, which has a different probability limit than the usual one when the model is false. If the null hypothesis is true, then the proposed test has the same distribution as the existing ones in large samples. If the hypothesis is false, then…

多弱工具变量下聚类样本 IV 回归模型的刀切估计AI 解读

This paper proposes new jackknife IV estimators that are robust to the effects of many weak instruments and error heteroskedasticity in a cluster sample setting with cluster-specific effects and possibly many included exogenous regressors. The estimators that we propose are designed to properly partial out the cluster-specific effects and included exogenous regressors while preserving the re-centering property of the jackknife methodology. To the best of our knowledge, our…

提高模型设定检验的功效AI 解读

This paper shows how to increase the power of Hausman’s (1978) specification test as well as the difference test in a large class of models. The idea is to impose the restrictions of the null and the alternative hypotheses when estimating the covariance matrix. If the null hypothesis is true then the proposed test has the same distribution as the existing ones in large samples. If the hypothesis is false then the proposed test statistic is larger with probability approaching…

Economic variables are often measured with an error and may be endogenous. In this paper, we give new identification results for the ratio of partial effects in linear index models with measurement error and endogeneity. The identification restrictions include independence of covariates and error terms, and the derivative of some conditional mean functions being nonzero. We propose a local polynomial regression estimator to estimate the single‐index parameters. We apply…

多工具变量与异方差下的过度识别限制检验AI 解读

This paper gives a test of overidentifying restrictions that is robust to many instruments and heteroskedasticity. It is based on a jackknife version of the overidentifying test statistic. Correct asymptotic critical values are derived for this statistic when the number of instruments grows large, at a rate up to the sample size. It is also shown that the test is valid when the number of instruments is fixed and there is homoskedasticity. This test improves on recently…

无需指定异质性分布的半参数持续时间模型估计AI 解读

This paper presents a new estimator for the mixed proportional hazard model that allows for a nonparametric baseline hazard and time-varying regressors. In particular, this paper allows for discrete measurement of the durations as happens often in practice. The integrated baseline hazard and all parameters are estimated at the regular rate, N, where N is the number of individuals. A hazard model is a natural framework for time-varying regressors. In particular, if a flow or…

异方差与多工具变量下的工具变量估计AI 解读

This paper gives a relatively simple, well behaved solution to the problem of many instruments in heteroskedastic data. Such settings are common in microeconometric applications where many instruments are used to improve efficiency and allowance for heteroskedasticity is generally important. The solution is a Fuller (1977) like estimator and standard errors that are robust to heteroskedasticity and many instruments. We show that the estimator has finite moments and high…

多工具变量异方差回归中JIVE的渐近分布AI 解读

This paper derives the limiting distributions of alternative jackknife instrumental variables (JIV) estimators and gives formulas for accompanying consistent standard errors in the presence of heteroskedasticity and many instruments. The asymptotic framework includes the many instrument sequence of Bekker (1994, Econometrica 62, 657–681) and the many weak instrument sequence of Chao and Swanson (2005, Econometrica 73, 1673–1691). We show that JIV estimators are…

动态时间序列二元选择模型AI 解读

This paper considers dynamic time series binary choice models. It proves near epoch dependence and strong mixing for the dynamic binary choice model with correlated errors. Using this result, it shows in a time series setting the validity of the dynamic probit likelihood procedure when lags of the dependent binary variable are used as regressors, and it establishes the asymptotic validity of Horowitz’s smoothed maximum score estimation of dynamic binary choice models with…
