The Inference for Weakly Identified State-Space Models: A Bayesian Analysis of Affine Term Structure Models
Imposing identifying restrictions in empirical work is sometimes more difficult than is commonly appreciated. In the classical framework, they can introduce bias in the estimators and produce confidence intervals that are too conservative. In the Bayesian framework, as long as priors are proper, posteriors are proper and the model is identified in that specific sense, but they can introduce num...
متن کاملImproved Inference in Weakly Identified Instrumental Variables Regression
It is now well known that standard asymptotic inference techniques for instrumental variable estimation may perform very poorly in the presence of weak instruments. In some circumstances, standard asymptotic techniques give spuriously small standard errors, leading investigators to apparently tight confidence regions which may be very far from the true parameter of interest. While much research...
متن کاملThe zero-information-limit condition and spurious inference in weakly identified models
In many econometric models the asymptotic variance of a parameter estimate depends on the value of another structural parameter in such a way that the data contain little information about the former when the latter is close to a critical value. This paper introduces the zero-information-limitcondition (ZILC) to identify such models where ‘weak identification’ leads to spurious inference. We fi...
متن کاملBayesian Versus Frequentist Inference
1 Goals and Outline Throughout this book, the topic of order-restricted inference is dealt with almost exclusively from a Bayesian perspective. Some readers may wonder why the other main school for statistical inference – frequentist inference – has received so little attention here. Isn't it true that in the field of psychology, almost all inference is frequentist inference? The first goal of ...
متن کاملBayesian Frequentist Hybrid Inference
Bayesian and frequentist methods differ in many aspects, but share some basic optimality properties. In practice, there are situations in which one of the methods is more preferred by some criteria. We consider the case of inference about a set of multiple parameters, which can be divided into two disjoint subsets. On one set, a frequentist method may be favored and on the other, the Bayesian. ...
