We develop theory of a novel fast bootstrap for dependent data. Our scheme deploys i.i.d. resampling of smoothed moment indicators. We characterize the class of parametric and semiparametric estimation problems for which the method is valid. We show the asymptotic re refinements of the new...

We study the robustness of block resampling procedures for time series. We first derive a set of formulas to characterize their quantile breakdown point. For the moving block bootstrap and the subsampling, we find a very low quantile breakdown point. A similar robustness problem arises in...

We propose a new class of test statistics inducing accurate dual likelihood ratio tests of parametric constraints in overidentified moment conditions models. These statistics are derived from the dual likelihood implied by the exponent in the saddlepoint approximation of a general GMM estimator...

This paper focuses on the robust Efficient Method of Moments (EMM) estimation of a general parametric stationary process and proposes a broad framework for constructing robust EMM statistics in this context. This extends the application field of robust statistics to very general time series...
