Programs -- GMM and Empirical Likelihood


New (2003): Self-contained estimation using Empirical Likelihood.
This program is fast (at least for linear models) but does not have built-in constrained estimation or testing.
The program uses separate inner/outer loop optimization.
The inner loop program may be used alone for calculation of EL probabilities.

Program to estimate moment models by Empirical Likelihood, test parameter restrictions, and construct profile confidence intervals.
The program directly optimizes the saddle likelihood, which can be numerically unreliable. [Gauss Program] [Matlab Program].
