Relying on a structural nonparametric estimation, we show that CO2 emissions clearly increase with income at low income levels. For higher income levels, we observe a decreasing relationship, though not significant. We also find that CO2 emissions monotonically increases with energy use at a...

A test of the CAPM is developed conditional on a prior belief about the correlation between the true market return and the proxy return used in the test. Consideration is given to the effect of the proxy's mismeasurement of the market return on the estimation of the market model. Failure to...

The diagonal GARCH(1,1) model is shown to support identification of the triangular system and is argued as a higher moment analog to traditional exclusion restrictions. Estimators for this result include QML and GMM. For the GMM estimator, only partial parameterization of the conditional...
