摘要

This collection of essays is concerned with the "limits of experiments" approach to asymptotic theory and its particular application to problems in econometric theory. The first chapter will provide a brief introduction to the "limits of experiments" approach. We will focus on the parts of the theory that are most relevant to the economic applications considered later.;In the second chapter we consider inference procedures on the coefficient on the endogenous regressor in a linear instrumental variables model with a single endogenous regressor, nonrandom exogenous regressors and instruments, and i.i.d. errors whose distribution is unknown. It is shown that under mild smoothness conditions on the error distribution the experiment is locally asymptotically normal (LAN) and, if the model contains an intercept, that adaptation is possible. Consequently, it is possible to develop tests which are nearly efficient (in the sense of [6]) when identification is weak and consistent and asymptotically optimal when identification is strong. In addition, an estimator is presented which can be used in the usual way to construct valid (indeed, optimal) confidence intervals when identification is strong. The estimator is asymptotically efficient under strong identification whether or not the errors are normal.;In the third chapter we consider point and interval estimation of the autoregressive parameter in a nearly-integrated first-order autoregression. Under a local-to-unity parameterization, we exploit the locally asymptotically quadratic structure (LAQ) of the model to construct optimal conditional procedures based on the Gaussian sufficient statistics. These procedures are asymptotically equivalent to procedures which condition on the final observation of the series which is relevant to the problem of forecasting in these models. They are optimal in terms of concentration around the true parameter value within a class of conditional estimators. Additionally, the proposed estimators minimize expected loss across a wide range of loss functions. We also generalize the method for models with a nonzero mean and for higher-order autoregressions.
