Abstract
In this paper we review existing work on robust estimation for simultaneous equations models. Then we sketch three strategies for obtaining estimators with a high breakdown point and a controllable efficiency: (a) robustifying three-stage least squares, (b) robustifying the full information maximum likelihood method by minimizing the determinant of a robust covariance matrix of residuals, and (c) generalizing multivariate tau-estimators (Lopuhaä, 1992, Can. J. Statist., 19, 307–321) to these models. They have the same order of computational complexity as high breakdown point multivariate estimators. The latter seems the most promising approach.
