Generalized Method of Moments Estimation
Generalized Method of Moments Estimation
The generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation has emerged over the past decade as providing a ready to use, flexible tool of application to a large number of econometric and economic models by relying on mild, plausible assumptions. The principal objective of this volume, the first devoted entirely to the GMM methodology, is to offer a complete and up to date presentation of the theory of GMM estimation as well as insights into the use of these methods in empirical studies. It is also designed to serve as a unified framework for teaching estimation theory in econometrics. Contributors to the volume include well-known authorities in the field based in North America, the UK/Europe, and Australia.
- Examines a quickly developing area of economics
- Written by well-known experts in the field and is using a unified language, notation, so it is likely to become the standard reference book in the area
- It can also be used as a textbook in advanced econometric theory courses
