We consider the problem of estimating the unconditional distribution of a post-model-selection estimator. The notion of a post-model-selection estimator here refers to the combined procedure resulting from first selecting a model (e.g., by a model selection criterion like AIC or by a hypothesis...

We consider the problem of estimating the conditional distribution of a post-model-selection estimator where the conditioning is on the selected model. The notion of a post-model-selection estimator here refers to the combined procedure resulting from first selecting a model (e.g., by a model...

In Poetscher [Econometric Theory (1991), 7, pp 163 - 185] the asymptotic distribution of a post-model-selection estimator, both unconditional and conditional on selecting a correct model, has been derived. Limitations of these results are (i) that they do not provide information on the...
