Abstract

This paper considers some finite sample properties of the partially restricted reduced form estimators in a general (n + 1) endogenous variable model. In particular, the characteristic functions, density functions, and moments are examined for both the vector of estimators and a linear combination. The approach utilizes both invariant polynomials of matrix argument (see Chikuse and Davis [4] and Davis [6]) and fractional calculus techniques (see Phillips [20,25,26]).
