In this important paper the author shows that the maximum likelihood estimator and its modification in the linear functional relationship with incidental parameters are third-order asymptotically efficient among a class of almost median-unbiased and almost mean-unbiased estimators, respectively, in the large sample sense. This means that the limited information maximum likelihood estimator (LIML) in the simultaneous equation system is third-order asymptotically efficient when the number of excluded exogenous variables in a particular structural equation is growing along with the sample size. It implies that the LIML estimator has an optimum property when the system of structural equations is large.
