Maximum likelihood estimation and uniform inference with sporadic identification failure

This paper analyzes the properties of a class of estimators, tests, and confidence sets (CSs) when the parameters are not identified in parts of the parameter space. Specifically, we consider estimator criterion functions that are sample averages and are smooth functions of a parameter θ. This includes log likelihood, quasi-log likelihood, and least squares criterion functions.
