Identification strength is directly defined through the conditional moments that flatten as the sample size increases. Our new minimum distance estimator is consistent, asymptotically normal, robust to semi-strong identification, and does not rely on the choice of a user-chosen parameter, such as the number of instruments or some smoothing parameter. Heteroskedasticity-robust inference is possible through Wald testing without prior knowledge of the identification pattern. Simulations show that our estimator is competitive with alternative estimators based on many instruments, being well-centered with better coverage rates for confidence intervals. date: 2014-09 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier official_url: http://tse-fr.eu/pub/28781 faculty: tse divisions: tse keywords: Identification keywords: Conditional moments keywords: Minimum distance estimation language: en has_fulltext: FALSE view_date_year: 2014 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Econometrics volume: vol. 182 number: n° 3 pagerange: 59-69 refereed: TRUE issn: 0304-4076 oai_identifier: oai:tse-fr.eu:28781 harvester_local_overwrite: oai_set harvester_local_overwrite: volume harvester_local_overwrite: number harvester_local_overwrite: issn harvester_local_overwrite: faculty harvester_local_overwrite: site harvester_local_overwrite: publisher harvester_local_overwrite: creators_affiliation harvester_local_overwrite: creators_idrefppn oai_lastmod: 2016-07-18T11:37:24Z oai_set: tse oai_set: ut1c site: ut1 citation: Antoine, Bertille and Lavergne, Pascal (2014) Conditional moments models under semi-strong identification.
