Conditional Moment Estimation of Nonlinear Equation Systems With an Application to an Oligopoly Model of Cooperative R&D

Generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation of nonlinear systems has two important advantages over conventional maximum likelihood (ML) estimation: GMM estimation usually requires less restrictive distributional assumptions and remains computationally attractive when ML estimation becomes burdens...
