简介: | In this talk, I will share some applications of large sample theory in my research in econometrics. Specifically, I will illustrate key steps in proving the consistency of the maximum likelihood estimator for the spatial autoregressive Tobit model, introduce asymptotic tools for random fields used in spatial econometrics, and discuss applications of empirical process theory in deriving the asymptotic distribution of the sieve maximum likelihood estimator and robust estimators for spatial econometric models. |
