Could the covariance matrix of the moment conditions in GMM be ill-conditioned?

From what you've told me, I would almost certainly predict that if you: (1) ran standard two stage least squares estimator and (2) tried to compute robust standard errors, then some of the standard er …

Minimization Method for GMM Estimates

It entirely depends on the form of the moment conditions! You can end up with everything from a simple, quadratic programming problem to some horrible, non-convex objective. (As a side note, a key div …
