The main econometric issue in testing the Lucas hypothesis (1973) in a times series context is the estimation of the variance conditional on past information. The ARCH model, proposed by Engle (1982), is one way of specifying the conditional variance. But the assumption underlying the ARCH...

In this paper, we provide a unified framework for LIML (limited information maximum likelihood) IV (instrumental variables) estimation to deal with endogeneity problems in the time-varying parameter models. For this purpose, we derive a Heckman-type (1976) two-step maximum likelihood estimation...
