On Gaussian Process Priors in Conditional Moment Restriction Models
This paper studies quasi Bayesian estimation and uncertainty quantification for an unknown function that is identified by a nonparametric conditional moment restriction. We derive contraction rates for a class of Gaussian process priors. Furthermore, we provide conditions under which a Bernstein von Mises theorem holds for the quasi-posterior distribution. As a consequence, we show that optimally weighted quasi-Bayes credible sets have exact asymptotic frequentist coverage.

Semiparametric Bayesian Inference for a Conditional Moment Equality Model
Conditional moment equality models are regularly encountered in empirical economics, yet they are difficult to estimate. These models map a conditional distribution of data to a structural parameter via the restriction t…

We propose a new family of specification tests called kernel conditional moment (KCM) tests. Our tests are built on a novel representation of conditional moment restrictions in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) c…
