This title in other formats:Estimation, Inference and Specification Analysisby Halbert White
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This book examines the consequences of misspecifications ranging from the fundamental to the nonexistent for the interpretation of likelihood-based methods of statistical estimation and interference. Professor White first explores the underlying motivation for maximum-likelihood estimation, treats the interpretation of the maximum-likelihood estimator (MLE) for misspecified probability models and gives the conditions under which parameters of interest can be consistently estimated despite misspecification and the consequences of misspecification for hypothesis testing in estimating the asymptotic covariance matrix of the parameters. The analysis concludes with an examination of methods by which the possibility of misspecification can be empirically investigated and offers a variety of tests for misspecification. Review:"...this often elegant and rigorous treatment of a wide variety of theoretical issues related to likelihood methods represents a useful contribution to the theoretical econometric literature on estimation and inference in possible misspecified models. The book should prove to be a useful reference book for econometric theorists. It should also be a useful reference and text for advanced graduate students wanting to learn about likelihood methods as well as the process of rigourous analysis of econometric methods in general." Journal of Economic Literature Synopsis:This book examines the consequences of misspecifications from the fundamental to the nonexistent for the interpretation of likelihood-based methods of statistical estimation and interference.
