Bootstrap inference for fixed-effect models
The maximum-likelihood estimator of nonlinear panel data models with fixed effects is consistent but asymptotically-biased under rectangular-array asymptotics. The literature has thus far concentrated its effort on devising methods to correct the maximum-likelihood estimator for its bias as a means to salvage standard inferential procedures. Instead, we show that the parametric bootstrap replicates the distribution of the (uncorrected) maximum-likelihood estimator in large samples. This justifies the use of confidence sets constructed via standard bootstrap percentile methods. No adjustment for the presence of bias needs to be made.

Bootstrap Inference for Hawkes and General Point Processes
Inference and testing in general point process models such as the Hawkes model is predominantly based on asymptotic approximations for likelihood-based estimators and tests. As an alternative, and to improve finite sampl…

Inference in linear panel data models is complicated by the presence of fixed effects when (some of) the regressors are not strictly exogenous. Under asymptotics where the number of cross-sectional observations and time …
