講題：Maximum Entropy Principle: Review and Applications
講題摘要：
The maximum likelihood (ML) method is known as the best statistical inference
method in the case where the true data generating process (DGP) is known.
Many parametric specification, estimation, and testing methods explicitly or
implicitly claim their optimality following the ML principle. However, the fact
is that the true DGP is unknown. A more realistic situation is that we could
only learn partial information about the real world either from economic
theories or statistical observations. Put differently, although the ML
principle is a golden rule in theory, it is infeasible in practice. This fact
has considerably motivated the use and development of the method of moments
(MM) and its extensions and variants, like the generalized MM (GMM) and the
quasi-ML(QML) methods, in econometrics. A common feature of these robust
methods is that they do not rely on, and hence do not pursue, a complete
(conditional) distribution specification for parameter estimation.
However, we do need a complete distribution specification in many economic and
financial problems. In this scenario, the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) principle
is useful because it allows us to recover a distribution specification from a
set of data-consistent, or theory-consistent, moment conditions in a
"least-biased" way.
In the first part of this lecture, we will review some key concepts and
appealing properties of the MaxEnt principle, discuss the associated
implementation issues, and provide personal discussions about this approach.
In the second part, we will discuss some existing econometric applications
and introduce personal studies of this principle.
