Moment condition models with mixed identification strength are models that are point identified but with estimating moment functions that are allowed to drift to 0 uniformly over the parameter space. Even though identification fails in the limit, depending on how slow the moment functions...

This paper proposes a new combined semiparametric estimator of the conditional variance that takes the product of a parametric estimator and a nonparametric estimator based on machine learning. A popular kernel-based machine learning algorithm, known as the kernel-regularized least squares...
