This paper examines the problem of weak identification in maximum likelihood, motivated by problems with estimation and inference a multi-dimensional, non-linear DSGE model. We suggest a test for a simple hypothesis concerning the full parameter vector which is robust to weak identification. We...

This paper considers a moments based non-linear estimator that is root-T consistent and uniformly asymptotically normal irrespective of the degree of persistence of the forcing process. These properties hold for linear autoregressive models, linear predictive regressions, as well as certain...
