Generalized Method of Moments

چکیده
This entry describes the basic framework for statistical estimation and inference using Generalized Method of Moments and also illustrates the types of empirical models in finance to which these techniques have been applied. GeneralizedMethod of Moments (GMM) provides a computationally convenientmethod of obtaining consistent and asymptotically normally distributed estimators of the parameters of statistical models. The method has been applied in many areas of economics but has arguably been most frequently applied in finance. In fact, it was in empirical finance that the power of the method was first illustrated: for while Hansen [7] introduced GMM and presented its fundamental statistical theory, Hansen and Hodrick [9] and Hansen and Singleton [10] showed the potential of the GMM approach to estimation through their empirical analyses of, respectively, foreign exchange markets and asset pricing. This entry briefly describes the GMM framework for estimation and inference in the case where time series data are used. The reader is referred to [6] for a comprehensive treatment of GMM that presents both a rigorous statistical analysis of the method and empirical illustrations in finance. For applications of GMM to panel data, see [15]. The popularity of GMM can be understood by comparing the requirements for the

متن کاملComparison of GLD Fitting Methods: Superiority of Percentile Fits to Moments in L^2 Norm
The flexibility of the family of Generalized Lambda Distributions (GLD) has encouraged researchers to fit GLD distributions to datasets in many circumstances. The methods that have been used to obtain GLD fits have also varied. This paper compares, for the first time, the relative qualities of three GLD fitting methods: the method of moments, a method based on percentiles, and a method that use...
