Book excerpt: In this dissertation, we explore the use of three different analytical techniques for approximating the finite-sample properties of estimators and test statistics. These techniques are the saddlepoint approximation, the large-n approximation and the small-disturbance approximation. The first of these enables us to approximate the complete density or distribution function for a statistic of interest, while the other two approximations provide analytical results for the first few moments of the finite-sample distribution. We consider a range of interesting estimation and testing problems that arise in econometrics and empirical economics. Saddlepoint approximations are used to determine the distribution of the half-life estimator that arises in the empirical purchasing power parity literature, and to show that its moments are undefined. They are also applied to the problem of obtaining accurate critical points for the Anderson-Darling goodness-of-fit test. The large-n approximation is used to study the first two moments of the MLE in the binary Logit model. Finally, we use small-disturbance approximations to examine the bias and mean squared error of some commonly used price index numbers, when the latter are viewed as point estimators.

Book Synopsis Identification and Inference for Econometric Models by : Donald W. K. Andrews
Download or read book Identification and Inference for Econometric Models written by Donald W. K. Andrews and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-07-04 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2005 volume contains the papers presented in honor of the lifelong achievements of Thomas J. Rothenberg on the occasion of his retirement. The authors of the chapters include many of the leading econometricians of our day, and the chapters address topics of current research significance in econometric theory. The chapters cover four themes: identification and efficient estimation in econometrics, asymptotic approximations to the distributions of econometric estimators and tests, inference involving potentially nonstationary time series, such as processes that might have a unit autoregressive root, and nonparametric and semiparametric inference. Several of the chapters provide overviews and treatments of basic conceptual issues, while others advance our understanding of the properties of existing econometric procedures and/or propose others. Specific topics include identification in nonlinear models, inference with weak instruments, tests for nonstationary in time series and panel data, generalized empirical likelihood estimation, and the bootstrap.

Book Synopsis Essays on finite mixture models by : Abram van Dijk
Download or read book Essays on finite mixture models written by Abram van Dijk and published by Rozenberg Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finite mixture distributions are a weighted average of a finite number of distributions. The latter are usually called the mixture components. The weights are usually described by a multinomial distribution and are sometimes called mixing proportions. The mixture components may be the same type of distributions with di®erent parameter values but they may also be completely different distributions. Therefore, finite mixture distributions are very °exible for modeling data. They are frequently used as a building block within many modern econometric models. The specification of the mixture distribution depends on the modeling problem at hand. In this thesis, we introduce new applications of finite mixtures to deal with several di®erent modeling issues. Each chapter of the thesis focusses on a specific modeling issue. The parameters of some of the resulting models can be estimated using standard techniques but for some of the chapters we need to develop new estimation and inference methods. To illustrate how the methods can be applied, we analyze at least one empirical data set for each approach. These data sets cover a wide range of research fields, such as macroeconomics, marketing, and political science. We show the usefulness of the methods and, in some cases, the improvement over previous methods in the literature.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this volume is to honour a pioneer in the field of econometrics, A. L. Nagar, on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. Fourteen econometricians from six countries on four continents have contributed to this project. One of us was his teacher, some of us were his students, many of us were his colleagues, all of us are his friends. Our volume opens with a paper by L. R. Klein which discusses the meaning and role of exogenous variables in struc tural and vector-autoregressive econometric models. Several examples from recent macroeconomic history are presented and the notion of Granger-causality is discussed. This is followed by two papers dealing with an issue of considerable relevance to developing countries, such as India; the measurement of the inequality in the distribution of income. The paper by C. T. West and H. Theil deals with the problem of measuring inequality of all components of total income vvithin a region, rather than just labour income. It applies its results to the regions of the United States. The second paper in this group, by N. Kakwani, derives the large-sample distributions of several popular inequality measures, thus providing a method for drawing large-sample inferences about the differences in inequality between regions. The techniques are applied to the regions of Cote d'Ivoire. The next group of papers is devoted to econometric theory in the context of the dynamic, simultaneous, linear equations model. The first, by P. J.

Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of four main chapters that study network social interaction models and panel models with grouped heterogeneity. Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 are representative work finished during my early exploration of economics. Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 are completed during the last two years of my Ph.D. studies. Chapter 1 studies a network social interaction model with heterogeneous links. I show that the endogenous and exogenous social interaction effects as well as the strength of network links are identified under some mild conditions. I adopt the nonlinear least squares method to estimate the unknown parameters using data of a single network. I also investigate the finite sample performance of the estimation method through Monte Carlo simulations and apply the model to analyze an online social network. Chapter 2 studies social interactions model with both in-group and out-group effects. The in-group effect follows the standard setup in the literature, while the out-group effect is introduced by assuming the economic outcome also depends on its out-group average value. I present a network game with limited information of outside groups that rationalizes the econometric model. I show that both effects are identified under a set of mild regularity conditions. I propose to estimate the model using the two-stage least squares (2SLS) method and establish the asymptotic normality of the estimators. The finite sample performance of the estimators are investigated through Monte Carlo simulations. Chapter 3 studies a semiparametric panel quantile regression model with grouped heterogeneity. The model can capture both time-variant and time-invariant effects of explanatory variables when group-specific heterogeneity directly affects the coefficients. A series-based estimation method is developed to estimate the parameters of interest and the group memberships. I investigate the asymptotic properties of the estimators and propose an information criterion to estimate the number of groups. The finite sample performance of the estimation method and the information criterion are investigated through Monte Carlo simulations. I apply the model to study the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth. My empirical findings show that FDI has large and significant heterogeneous effects on economic growth, especially for low-income countries, and such effect diminishes as the GDP per capita increases. None of these findings have been documented in previous literature. In Chapter 4 (joint with Hualei Shang), we study a nonparametric additive panel regression model with grouped heterogeneity. The model is a valuable extension to the heterogeneous panel model studied in Su et al. (2016). We propose to estimate the nonparametric components using a sieve-approximation-based C-Lasso method. We establish the asymptotic properties of the estimator and show that they enjoy the so-called oracle property. Besides, we present the decision rule for group classification and establish its consistency. A BIC-type information criterion is developed to determine the group pattern of each nonparametric component. We investigate the finite sample performance of the estimation method and the information criterion through Monte Carlo simulations. Results show that both work very well. Finally, we apply the model to study the demand for cigarettes in the United States using panel data of 46 states from 1963 to 1992.
