In particular, we show that all 3 estimators’ first order Taylor expansions converge to the same asymptotic distribution, that is they are first order asymptotically equivalent. Next, we explore some finite sample properties using the second order expansions and we prove that under certain conditions the GMR2 estimator is second order unbiased. Finally, we will provide some empirical justification to the theory of indirect inference by performing several Monte Carlo experiments, using simple EGARCH and Stochastic Volatility models.73p.Indirect Inference EstimatorsExtremum EstimatorsEGARCHStochastic volatility modelsText
