2 Overidentification test If the equation is exactly identified, it is possible to choose δ so that all the elements of sample moments g n ( g n ) are zero and the distance (objective function) is zero. If the equation is over-identified, then the distance cannot be exactly set to zero, but we we would expect the minimized distance to be close to zero. It turns out that, if the weighting matrix Ŵ is chosen optimally so that plim Ŵ = S 1, then the minimized distance is asymptotically chi-squared. 2 / 35 Guochang Zhao RIEM, SWUFE Single-Equation GMM

7 Testing a subset of orthogonality conditions Remarks The choice of Ŝ and Ŝ11 does not matter asymptotically as long as they are consistent. In finite sample, the test statistic C can be negative. The negative C can be avoided if the same Ŝ is used throughout: (1) Do the efficient two-step GMM with full instruments x i to obtain Ŝ from the first step, ˆδ and J from the second step. (2) Extract the submatrix Ŝ11 from Ŝ obtained from (1), calculate ˆδ using this Ŝ11 and J 1. Then take the difference in J. 7 / 35 Guochang Zhao RIEM, SWUFE Single-Equation GMM
8 LR, Wald and LM tests Consider maximum likelihood estimation of a parameter θ and a test of hypothesis H 0 : c(θ) = 0: Likelihood ratio test If the restriction c(θ) = 0 is valid, then imposing it should not lead to a large reduction in the log-likelihood function. Wald test If the restriction is valid, then c(θ MLE ) should be close to zero since the MLE is consistent. Lagrange multiplier test If the restriction is valid, then the restricted estimator should be near the point that maximizes the log-likelihood. Test ideas The LR test is based on the distance between restricted and unrestricted maximum log likelihood; the Wlad test is based on the distance between c(θ MLE ) and 0; while LM test is based on the distance between slope of the likelihood function at the restricted estimator and 0. 8 / 35 Guochang Zhao RIEM, SWUFE Single-Equation GMM

The restricted efficient GMM estimator is defined as restricted efficient GMM : δ(ŝ) 1 argmin J( δ, Ŝ 1 ) s.t.

If Assumption 3.5 is added, the estimator is asymptotically normal with the asymptotic variance given by (3.5.1) with W = (a2~,,)-'. If Assumption 3.7 (conditional homoskedasticity) is added to Assumptions , then the estimator Asymptotic properties of 2SLS: is the efficient GMM estimator. Furthermore, Underif Assumption E(zi z:) exists 1-4, and the is finite, 2SLS estimator is consistent. If l5 then Assumption 5 is added, the estimator is asymptotically normal.

17 Small properties of 2SLS There is fairly large literature on the finite-sample distribution of the 2SLS estimator. The analytical results, however, are not very useful for empirical researchers, because they are derived under the restrictive assumptions of fixed instruments and normal errors. If the instrumental variable is weak, a mass of the distribution of the sampling error ˆδ 2SLS δ remain apart from zero until the sample size gets really large. How weak is weak? The F-statistic for the instrument variable should be larger than 10 (rule of thumb). 17 / 35 Guochang Zhao RIEM, SWUFE Single-Equation GMM

For those regressors that are predetermined, there is no need to carry out the first stage. This derivation of the 2SLS is useful and it justifies the naming of the estimator, but there is a pitfall - the OLS standard errors and estimated asymptotic variance from the second stage cannot be used for statistical inference. 21 / 35 Guochang Zhao RIEM, SWUFE Single-Equation GMM
