Pdf Small Sample Bias Of Alternative Estimation Methods For Moment Condition Models Monte Carlo Evidence For Covariance Structures from i1.rgstatic.net

Sample bias of the omd estimator and the errors in the coverage probabilities. The simulations follow closely those made by blundell et al (2000) in the sense that the structure of the model simulated is exactly the same as . Small sample bias in g m m estimation of covariance structures.

The problem arises because in small samples, there is a correlation .

W e examine the small sample properties of the g m m estimator for models of . Our main finding is that omd is seriously biased in small samples for many distributions and in relatively large samples for poorly behaved distributions. The bias arises because sampling errors in the second moments are correlated with . The monte carlo simulation study conducted in the paper for covariance structure models shows that all alternative estimators offer much reduced bias as .
