  • When parameters are weakly identified, bounds on the parameters may provide a valuable source of information. Existing weak identification estimation and inference results are unable to combine weak identification with bounds. Within a class of minimum distance models, this paper proposes identification-robust inference that incorporates information from bounds when parameters are weakly identified. This paper demonstrates the value of the bounds and identification-robust inference in a simple latent factor model and a simple GARCH model. This paper also demonstrates the identification-robust inference in an empirical application, a factor model for parental investments in children.
