Testing conditional moment restriction models using empirical likelihood
利用经验似然检验条件矩限制模型
Summary An empirical likelihood test is proposed for parameters of models defined by conditional moment restrictions, such as models with nonlinear endogenous covariates, with and without heteroscedastic errors and non-separable transformation models. The number of empirical likelihood constraints is given by the size of the parameter, unlike alternative semi-parametric approaches. We show that the empirical likelihood ratio test is asymptotically pivotal, without explicit…
