Appendix
In this appendix, we elaborate the procedures for estimating asymptotic covariance
matrices of the GMM estimators. All models in the main text, with suitable
interpretations of y, X, Z, e, and Ω, have the form:
(A.1) y = Xβ + e, E( e ) = 0, E( Z 0e ) = 0, E( ee0 ) = Ω,
where y =(y01,...,y0N)0, X =(X01,...,X0N)0, Z =(Z01,...,Z0N)0, and =
(e01 ,...,e0N)0, Zi being the IV matrix of Xi. The two generic GMM estimators
considered are
(A.2) βb =[X0PZX]-1[X0PZy], PZ = Z(Z0Z)-1Z0,
s~∙∙~' -ɪ
(A.3) β = [ X 0P z (Ω) X ] -1 [ X 0P z (Ω) y ],
Let the residual vector calculated from β be be
P Z (Ω) = Z ( Z0 Ω Z )-1Z0.

Inserting for y from (A.1) in (A.2) and (A.3), we get
√N ( β - β ) = √N [ X 0P Z X ]-1[ X 0P Z e ] = [ S XZ S-Z S Zχ ]-1 S

N ( β - β ) = √N [ X 0P Z (Ω) X ]-1[ X 0P Z (Ω) e ] = [ S χZ S - Ω Z S Zx ]-1

and hence,
N(β - β)(β - β) 0 = [SXZSZ-Z1 SZX]-1[SXZSZ-Z1 SZeeZSZ-Z1 SZX][SXZSZ-Z1 SZX]-1,
N(β - β)(β - β)0 = [SXZS-1ZSzx]-1[SXZS-1ZSZeeZS-1ZSzx][SxzS-1ZSzx]-1

The asymptotic covariance matrices of √Nβ and N3e/3 can then, under suitable
regularity conditions, be written as [see Bowden and Turkington (1984, pp. 26, 69)]

aV(√Nβ) = lim E[N(β - β)(β - β)0] = plim[N(β - β)(β - β)0],
aV(√N/3) = lim E[N(β - β)(β - β)0] = plim[N(β - β)(β - β)0].
