Abstract
Evaluation of the confluent hypergeometric function by its asymptotic approximation is investigated with reference to the calculation of the exact moments of several econometric estimators.The error involved in utilizing the asymptotic approximation when the argument of the function is finite is derived,thus allowing a simple correction to be made.
