CHRONOLOGICALLY TRIMMED LS FOR NONLINEAR PREDICTIVE REGRESSIONS WITH PERSISTENCE OF UNKNOWN FORM
Wang, Qiying
Relatively, recent work by Jeganathan (2008, Cowles Foundation Discussion Paper 1649) and Wang (2014, Econometric Theory , 30(3), 509–535) on generalized martingale central limit theorems (MCLTs) implicitly introduces a new class of instrument arrays that yield (mixed) Gaussian limit theory irrespective of the persistence level in the data. Motivated by these developments, we propose a new semiparametric method for estimation and inference in nonlinear predictive regressions with persistent pred
