To do this analysis, we develop a class of instrument-based semiparametric system of simultaneous equations estimators for panel data and prove that our estimators are consistent and asymptotically normal. Our new methodological tool suggests that across developed and developing economies, causal, heterogeneous symbiosis and commensalism are the most dominant types of interactions between FDI and economic growth. Higher institutional quality facilitates, impedes or has no effect on the interactions between FDI and economic growth.","PeriodicalId":36727,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Econometric Methods","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/jem-2016-0008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43780633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to the latent nature of underlying valuations, the accuracy of estimates is not feasibly testable with field data, a fact that could inhibit empirical auction market designs and applications based on structural estimates. To assess their accuracy, we provide an analysis of estimates derived from experimental asymmetric auction data, in which researchers observe valuations. We test the null of statistical equivalence between the estimated and true value distributions against the alternative of non-equivalence. When advanced models are used, the Modified Kolmogorov-Smirnov test fails to reject the distributional equivalence, supporting structural asymmetric auction estimations for auction market studies. In addition, recovered efficiencies have plus-minus 2.5 percent precision, compared to the true efficiencies.","PeriodicalId":36727,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Econometric Methods","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/jem-2017-0001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45103795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From their correspondence it easily follows that the statistic used for testing instrument validity, the Sargan-Hansen overidentifying restrictions (OR) statistic, is equivalent to an exclusion restrictions test statistic for a nonunique group of regressor variables. We prove that asymptotically this is the case too for incremental OR tests. However, we also demonstrate that, despite this equivalence of test statistics, one can nevertheless distinguish between either the (in)validity of some additional instruments or the (un)tenability of particular exclusion restrictions. This, however, requires to be explicit about the adopted maintained hypothesis. It also highlights that recent warnings in the literature that overidentifying restrictions tests may mislead practitioners should not be directed towards the test, but to practitioners who do not realize that inference based on such tests is unavoidably conditional on the validity of particular just-identifying statistically untestable assumptions.","PeriodicalId":36727,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Econometric Methods","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/jem-2016-0005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66939316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

B. Hall, and Z. Griliches. 1984. “Econometric Models for Count Data with an Application to the Patents-R & D Relationship.” Econometrica 52 (4): 909–938.] have defined the Poisson fixed effects (PFE) estimator to estimate models of panel data with count dependent variables under distributional assumptions conditional on covariates and unobserved heterogeneity, but without any restriction on the distribution of unobserved heterogeneity conditional on covariates. Wooldridge [Wooldridge, J. M. 1999. “Distribution-Free Estimation of some Nonlinear Panel Data Models.” Journal of Econometrics 90 (1): 77–97.] showed that the PFE estimator is actually consistent even if the distributional assumptions of the PFE model are violated, as long as the restrictions imposed on the conditional mean of the dependent variable are satisfied. In this note I study the efficiency of the PFE estimator in the absence of distributional assumptions. I show that the PFE estimator corresponds to the optimal estimator for random coefficients models of Chamberlain [Chamberlain, G. 1992. “Efficiency Bounds for Semiparametric Regression.” Econometrica 60 (3): 567–596.] in the particular case where the assumptions of equal conditional mean and variance and zero conditional serial correlation are satisfied, regardless of whether the distributional assumptions of the PFE model hold. For instance the dependent variable does not need to be a count variable. This local efficiency result, combined with the simplicity and robustness of the PFE estimator, should provide a useful additional justification for its use to estimate conditional mean models of panel data.","PeriodicalId":36727,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Econometric Methods","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/jem-2015-0022","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66939307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
