Consider the following nonlinear regression model: yt=αx β t +εt Assume i.i.d. data and 𝔼[εt|xt]=0. To estimate α and β by GMM, we use the following moment conditions: 𝔼[yt−αx β t ]=0 𝔼[(yt−αx β t )xt]=0 To compute the variance of the estimates, we need to estimate the matrices Γ0 and Φ0.

We restate the problem setup and list the answer options clearly so you can compare them easily.
Question setup: We have the nonlinear regression y_t = α x_t^β_t + ε_t with i.i.d. data and E[ε_t | x_t] = 0. The GMM moment conditions are g_t(θ) = [ y_t − α x_t^β_t , (y_t − α x_t^β_t) x_t ]', with θ = (α, β). The variance of the GMM estimator requires the matrices Γ0 and Φ0, where Γ0 = E[ ∂g_t(θ)/∂θ' ] evaluated at the true θ. The answer options propose sample approximations of Γ0, i.e., a 2×2 matrix whose entries are expectations of the partial derivatives, estimated by their sample analogs.
Option analysis:
Option A: The estimate of the matrix Γ0 is
ˆΓ0 = [ −(1/T) ∑ x_t^β_t −(1/T) ∑ α x_t^β_t log(x_t)
−(1/T) ∑ x_t^{β+1} −(1/T) ∑ α x_t^{β+1} log(x_t) ]
- Why this matches the theory: You compute ∂g/∂α and ∂g/∂β for each moment. For the first moment m1,t = y_t − α x_t^β, the derivative with respect to α is −x_t^β and with respect to β is −α x_t^β log x_t (since ∂ x_t^β / ∂β = x_t^β log x_t)......Login to view full explanation登录即可查看完整答案
