| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study proposed a Bayesian estimation method that uses an empirical likelihood as a likelihood function, and applied the method to the estimation of moment inequality models. I showed asymptotic properties of the posterior density. Furthermore, I investigated finite sample validity of using an empirical likelihood as a likelihood of Bayes estimation.
Moreover, this study derived a least favorable submodel of conditional moment restriction models. The result suggests the efficiency bound and an asymptotically efficient estimator. The resulting estimator can be viewed as an empirical likelihood estimator for conditional moment restriction models.
