Higher-Order Expansions for Estimators in the Presence of Nuisance Parameters by Paul Rilstone

“…The results in the paper accomplish three objectives: (i) provide simpler methods for deriving higher-order moments when nuisance parameters are present; (ii) indicate more explicitly the sources of deviations of estimators’ sampling distributions from that given by standard first-order asymptotic theory; and, in turn, (iii) indicate in which situations the corrections (either analytically or by a resampling method such as bootstrap or jackknife) should be made when making inferences. We illustrate using several popular examples in econometrics. …”
