Structural Estimation, Simulations, and Initial Values

I want to estimate model parameters and fear about the impact of initial values of simulations. Short model overview Consider a firm producing a homogeneous output good whose output price, $P_t$, is $$dP_t=mP_tdt+s P_t dW_t.$$ Denoting the…

Finding consistent but inefficient GMM estimate

Consider the following linear model $$y_t = x_t' \beta +u_t$$ where $t =1,...,T$ and $x_t = (x_{1t} x_{2t} ... x_{kt})'$ , $ \beta$ is $k \times 1$ vector of unknown coefficients, $u_t$ is an iid disturbance term with the variance $\sigma^2$ and…

Estimate a Monetary Policy Reaction Function with Generalized Method of Moments

I want to estimate a Monetaryu Policy Reaction function with GMM. I have well understood how to estimate a distribution (e.g. the normal distribution, the log-normal distribution, and so on) with GMM. One just sets the condition that the parameter μ…
