Generalized Least Squares Estimation of Linear Models Containing Rational Future Expectations
讨论在线性理性预期模型中如何选择未观测预期的近似,以得到比常用GMM更有效的估计量,并用简单模型展示不同估计量的效率。
The authors discuss the choice of approximations for unobserved expectations underlying consistent estimators in linear rational expectations models with future expectations. They show how estimators that are more efficient than the commonly used GMM estimators can be obtained if it is assumed that the future expectation depends on a finite number of variables only. Numerical results for a simple model illustrate the related efficiency of various estimators.
