This paper considers the maximum generalized empirical likelihood (GEL) estimation and inference on parameters identified by high dimensional moment restrictions with weakly dependent data when the dimensions of the moment restrictions and the parameters diverge along with the sample size. The...

In this paper, we clarify the relations between the existing sets of regularity conditions for convergence rates of nonparametric indirect regression (NPIR) and nonparametric instrumental variables (NPIV) regression models. We establish minimax risk lower bounds in mean integrated squared error...

We show that spline and wavelet series regression estimators for weakly dependent regressors attain the optimal uniform (i.e., sup-norm) convergence rate (n/log n)^{-p/(2p+d)} of Stone (1982), where d is the number of regressors and p is the smoothness of the regression function. The optimal...

This paper presents sieve inferences on possibly irregular (i.e., slower than root-n estimable) functionals of semi-nonparametric models with i.i.d. data. We provide a simple consistent variance estimator of the plug-in sieve M estimator of a possibly irregular functional, and the asymptotic...

This paper establishes the asymptotic normality of plug-in sieve M estimators of possibly irregular functionals of semi-nonparametric time series models. We show that, even when the sieve score process is not a martingale difference sequence, the asymptotic variance in the case of irregular...

The method of sieves has been widely used in estimating semiparametric and nonparametric models. In this paper, we first provide a general theory on the asymptotic normality of plug-in sieve M estimators of possibly irregular functionals of semi/nonparametric time series models. Next, we...

We establish the consistency and asymptotic normality for a class of estimators that are linear combinations of a set of v n- consistent estimators whose cardinality increases with sample size. A special case of our framework corresponds to the conditional moment restriction and the implied...
