Views

All my work is concerned with theory of estimation and prediction in econometric models, especially large sample theory. Early work was mainly concerned with time series and simultaneous equations models. Research in the last ten years has concentrated on the analysis of various nonlinear econometric models, such as qualitative response models, censored or truncated regression models, and nonlinear simultaneous equations models.

The first two types of models are the ones most frequently used by econometricians in recent years. Among my more important contributions in recent years are a simple consistent estimator in censored or truncated regression models, the nonlinear two state least squares estimator, and the two stage least absolute deviations estimator.
