Apr 11, 2017 at 20:10 comment added Alecos Papadopoulos Lutkepohl's "Introduction to Multiple Time Series Analysis" tricks you into believing at first that it is not too heavy in matrix algebra...until it is too late.

Apr 10, 2017 at 15:00 comment added Frank Swanton @AlecosPapadopoulos Alecos, thanks a lot! By the way, do you have any good reference reading for VAR (Vector Autoregressions) that are sort of introductory brushing through without too much matrix algebra? Just asking!

Apr 9, 2017 at 20:11 comment added Matthew Gunn Something worth noting is that you can apply the theory of GMM to many different moment conditions. GMM is not limited to the orthogonality condition $\operatorname{E}[\mathbf{x}u]= \mathbf{0}$ that gives you OLS. Eg. maximum likelihood can be interpreted as GMM on the score.

Apr 9, 2017 at 19:54 comment added gammer @MichaelChernick, incorrect. It's a method of moments estimator with moment condition $E( X' (Y - X' \beta) ) = 0$. Did you read the answer?

Apr 9, 2017 at 19:48 comment added Alecos Papadopoulos @MichaelChernick The point I am making is that we can obtain OLS starting from an orthogonality condition. So they may be historically distinct, but mathematically equivalent, in the context of this model.
Apr 9, 2017 at 19:43 comment added Michael R. Chernick Method of moments is an estimation technique that goes back to Karl Pearson in the early 1900s. I don't think it has anything to do with the least squares estimate of regression parameters.
