An alternative two-step generalized method of moments estimator based on a reduced form model

Abstract

I propose an alternative two-step generalized method of moment (GMM) estimator when an exactly-identified underlying parameter is available. The resulting estimator does not have the higher-order asymptotic bias arising from the choice of a preliminary weighting matrix.
