On the Exact Distribution of LIML (revised and extended, see CFDP 658)

Author

Abstract

It is shown that the exact distribution of the LIML estimator in a general and leading single equation case is multivariate Cauchy. The corresponding result for the IV estimator is a form of multivariate t density where the degrees of freedom depend on the number of instruments.
