Finite Sample Econometrics

From MaRDI portal





This book about finite sample econometrics fills a gap in the field of econometric inference in the sense that in cases where the classical regression model assumptions are violated, applied econometricians usually restrict themselves to large sample, properties of the estimators as well as of the test statistics. But as the author remarks, results based on large sample assumptions may differ considerably from those obtained for finite samples. Therefore, it is the intention of the book to provide a comprehensive and unified treatment of finite sample theory and to apply the basic tools of this to various estimators and test statistics used in various econometric models. The author considers both time series and cross section data models as well as panel data models. Furthermore, the results are explored for linear and nonlinear models as well as models with normal and nonnormal errors. The book contains seven chapters and an appendix. Chapter 1 introduces into the concept of finite sample econometrics. Chapter 2 gives the methods in obtaining the moments of econometric statistics, and the following chapter 3 provides the methods of analyzing distributions. The chapters 4 to 7 deal with finite sample results for various econometric models, including the classical regression model (chapter 4). The book is designed for graduate courses in econometrics and statistics, but it can also be used as a textbook and as a reference for graduate courses in these fields. And in this sense it can be considered as a useful supplement to standard econometric textbooks as well as for applied researchers in the fields of economics, engineering, and sociology.
