Local linearization based subvector inference in moment inequality models
基于局部线性化的矩不等式子向量推断
This paper introduces a bootstrap-based profiling inference method for subvectors in moment inequality models following insights from Bugni et al. (2017). Compared to their paper, the new method calculates the critical value by searching over a local neighborhood of a pre-estimator, instead of the whole null parameter space, to profile out nuisance parameters. In this way, non-linear moment conditions are simplified by linear expansion and the bootstrap iterates over…
