Semiparametric Efficiency in Gmm Models with Auxiliary Data By
We study semiparametric efficiency bounds and efficient estimation of parameters defined through general moment restrictions with missing data. Identification relies on auxiliary data containing information about the distribution of the missing variables conditional on proxy variables that are observed in both the primary and the auxiliary database, when such distribution is common to the two d...

متن کاملValid Two-Step Identification-Robust Confidence Sets for GMM
In models with potential weak identification researchers often decide whether to report a robust confidence set based on an initial assessment of model identification. Two-step procedures of this sort can generate large coverage distortions for reported confidence sets, and existing procedures for controlling these distortions are quite limited. This paper introduces a generally-applicable appr...
متن کاملMatlab Handout # 5 Two step and iterative GMM Estimation
First, you have to add the gmmtbx folder into Matlab’s path. Enter the command: >>addpath(’k:\gmmtbx’); Now, we need to construct the variables of interest, namely the dataset and the instruments. Both have already been saved in the gmmtbx folder and can be loaded into Matlab using the commands: >>x = load(’cbapmvwrdata.dat’); >>z = load(’cbapmvwrinstr.dat’); where x is the dataset 1, and z are...
متن کاملFixed-smoothing Asymptotics in a Two-step GMM Framework
The paper develops the xed-smoothing asymptotics in a two-step GMM framework. Under this type of asymptotics, the weighting matrix in the second-step GMM criterion function converges weakly to a random matrix and the two-step GMM estimator is asymptotically mixed normal. Nevertheless, the Wald statistic, the GMM criterion function statistic and the LM statistic remain asymptotically pivotal. I...
