In many applications, a researcher must select an instrument vector from a candidate set of instruments. If the ultimate objective is to perform inference about the unknown parameters using conventional asymptotic theory, then we argue that it is desirable for the chosen instrument vector to...

Hall et al. (2007) propose a method for moment selection based on an information criterion that is a function of the entropy of the limiting distribution of the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator. They establish the consistency of the method subject to certain conditions that include...

In this article, I derive the Lagrange multiplier test of the null hypothesis that a stationary random vector has a (possibly heteroscedastic) normal distribution against the alternative that the distribution is a member of the family with seminonparametric probability density functions...
