Select the valid and relevant moments: An information-based LASSO for GMM with many moments

This paper studies the selection of valid and relevant moments for the generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation. For applications with many candidate moments, our asymptotic analysis accommodates a diverging number of moments as the sample size increases. The proposed procedure achieves three objectives in one-step: (i) the valid and relevant moments are distinguished from the invalid or irrelevant ones; (ii) all desired moments are selected in one step instead of in a stepwise manner; (iii) the parameters of interest are automatically estimated with all selected moments as opposed to a post-selection estimation. The new method performs moment selection and efficient estimation simultaneously via an information-based adaptive GMM shrinkage estimation, where an appropriate penalty is attached to the standard GMM criterion to link moment selection to shrinkage estimation. The penalty is designed to signal both moment validity and relevance for consistent moment selection. We develop asymptotic results for the high-dimensional GMM shrinkage estimator, allowing for non-smooth sample moments and weakly dependent observations. For practical implementation, this one-step procedure is computationally attractive.

We use spectral analysis to establish a unified theory of debiasing, thresholding, and simultaneous inference for high-dimensional linear regression with ill-conditioned designs. The methods include Ridge regression, spectral cut-off, and iterative and dynamical regression procedures. A common debiasing procedure uses two applications of the original linear algorithm with fixed parameters. Spectral analysis shows that debiasing squares the residual, while implementations…

This paper introduces a novel robust high-dimensional inference framework based on partial Gini covariance. We specifically address the practically important problem of quantifying how changes in features affect the conditional mean in high-dimensional linear regression when the random noises are heavy-tailed and possibly asymmetric. Conventional high-dimensional regression inference methods suffer from inaccurate type I errors and reduced power in heavy-tailed contexts.…

Bayesian inference with empirical likelihood faces a challenge as the posterior domain is a proper subset of the original parameter space due to the convex hull constraint. We propose a regularized exponentially tilted empirical likelihood to address this issue. Our method removes the convex hull constraint using a novel regularization technique, incorporating a continuous exponential family distribution to satisfy a Kullback--Leibler divergence criterion. The regularization…

This paper studies the robustness of estimated policy effects to changes in the distribution of covariates, a key determinant of the external validity of (quasi)experimental results. I propose a novel robustness metric δ ∗ which measures the smallest covariate shift needed to invalidate an empirical claim about the policy effect (e.g., AT E > 0). I estimate δ ∗ via de-biased GMM, achieving a parametric rate of convergence while accommodating machine-learning estimators of…

We develop model checks for conditional moment restrictions whose tuning parameters, the kernel bandwidth and the regularization level, are selected by cross-validation. The tests regress the estimated residuals on the covariates via kernel ridge regression (KRR), yielding a coefficient function in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) that vanishes under the null and is nonzero for any misspecification not annihilated by the Neyman projection. Our central contribution…

Uniform Inference for Parameters Identified by Conditional Quantile Restrictions

条件分位数限制识别参数的一致推断AI 解读

Many structural and dynamic economic models imply that key parameters are identified by conditional quantile restrictions. Building on the exponential-weighting approach of Bierens (1990) and recent advances in penalized maximum statistics for conditional moment restrictions (Chen et al., 2025), we develop a unified inference framework for such parameters. We propose an adaptive $\ell_1$-penalized supremum statistic that transforms the conditional restriction into a…
