Abstract

We examine the higher order asymptotic properties of semiparametric regression estimators that were obtained by the general MINPIN method described in Andrews (1989, Semiparametric Econometric Models: I. Estimation, Discussion paper 908, Cowles Foundation). We derive an order n−1 stochastic expansion and give a theorem justifying order n−1 distributional approximation of the Edgeworth type.
