(Two-Step and MD) One can apply the minimum distance method to the two-step estimation framework described in Proposition 19 (Two-Step Asymptotic Variance, p. 507). Consider the two-step estimator $$\hat{\theta}_N(\hat{\gamma}_N)$$ for a parameter vector $$\theta_0$$ based on the initial estimator $$\hat{\gamma}_N$$ for the nuisance parameter vector $$\gamma_0$$. Among other conditions, we supposed that

Thus, given a consistent estimator $$\hat{\Omega}$$ of the variance matrix $$\Omega$$, a minimum distance estimator is
Compare the asymptotic properties of the two estimators.
