Comment on “ Iterative and Recursive Estimation in Structural Non - Adaptive Models ”

Sergio Pastorello, Valentin Patilea, Eric Renault, Jun Pan

چکیده

This paper constitutes a serious attempt to develop a new inference method for structural models with latent variables. In addition to tackling some difficult econometric issues, it is carefully executed with thoughtful discussions on many detailed issues. Overall, I see this article as a nice addition to the literature that focuses on the development of efficient and feasible econometric methods for structural models. My comments will revolve around one very basic question: as a practicing econometrician, under what situation will I choose the proposed latent backfitting method over existing approaches?
