Newey and Smith [Newey, W.K., Smith, R.J., 2004. Higher order properties of GMM and empirical likelihood estimators. Econometrica 72, 219-255] analyzed the second order biases of GMM and GEL estimators under independence. Anatolyev [Anatolyev, S., 2005. GMM, GEL, serial correlation, and...

Kinal (1980) showed that k-class estimators for which k  1 possess all necessary higher moments. A bias approximation to order T- 2 is derived for the general k-class estimator extending the earlier result for 2SLS of Mikhail (1972) thus improving our knowledge of a potentially...

The small sample bias of the least-squares coefficient estimator is examined in the dynamic multiple linear regression model with normally distributed whitenoise disturbances and an arbitrary number of regressors which are all exogenous except for the one-period lagged-dependent variable. We...
