In this paper, we extend the results in Hansen (1982) regarding the asymptotic distribution of generalized method of moments (GMM) sample moment conditions. In particular, we show that the part of the scaled sample moment conditions that gives rise to degeneracy in the asymptotic normal...

This paper considers estimation of moving average (MA) models with non-Gaussian errors. Information in higher-order cumulants allows identification of the parameters without imposing invertibility. By allowing for an unbounded parameter space, the generalized method of moments estimator of the...

This paper proposes a GMM-based method for asymptotic confidence interval construction in stationary autoregressive models, which is robust to the presence of conditional heteroskedasticity of unknown form. The confidence regions are obtained by inverting the asymptotic acceptance region of the...

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of specification tests in conditional moment restriction models under first-order local identification failure with dependent data. More specifically, we obtain conditions under which the conventional specification test for conditional moment...

Since it burst onto the scene of mainstream monetary economics, the New Neo-Classical Phillips Curve has been the focus of two important empirical debates. First, to what extent properly measured marginal costs affect inflation dynamics. Second, to what extent purely forward looking inflation...

We build a new asset pricing framework to study the effects of aggregate illiquidity on asset prices, volatilities and correlations. In our framework the Black-Scholes economy is obtained as the limiting case of perfectly liquid markets. The model is consistent with empirical studies on the...
