Popis: This paper compares three types of standard errors for optimal minimum distance (OMD) estimator where the structural parameter is recovered from the reduced form parameters estimated by a two-step GMM estimator. We demonstrate that the naive standard errors are severely biased and cause over-rejection, while the OMD estimator based on the bias-corrected variance matrix by Windmeijer (2005) and newly derived variance estimator yield much more accurate inference.
