A GMM Estimator for Linear Index Threshold Model

This paper investigates the linear index threshold regression model with endogeneity. We propose a two-step GMM estimation method to estimate the model, which allows both the threshold variable and…

Robust inference for threshold regression models

STRUCTURAL THRESHOLD REGRESSION

This paper introduces the structural threshold regression (STR) model that allows for an endogenous threshold variable as well as for endogenous regressors. This model provides a parsimonious way of…

Structural Threshold Quantile Regression

In this paper, a simultaneous equation model with an endogenous variable and an exogenous threshold variable is analysed and estimated thereby extending Caner and Hansen (2004) model to quantile…

Semi�?Parametric Estimation of a Generalized Threshold Regression Model Under Conditional Quantile Restriction

We consider semi‐parametric estimation of a generalized threshold regression model with both the link function and the error term distribution left unspecified. We propose for the model a maximum…

ROBUST ESTIMATION AND INFERENCE FOR THRESHOLD MODELS WITH INTEGRATED REGRESSORS

This paper studies the robust estimation and inference of threshold models with integrated regressors. We derive the asymptotic distribution of the profiled least squares (LS) estimator under the…

Threshold Regression Without Distribution Assumption When the Threshold Variable is Endogenous

In this paper, we propose a semi-parametric approach to estimate threshold models without the reliance of distribution assumption when the threshold variable is endogenous. Early threshold models…

Estimation of a threshold autoregressive model under misspecification

This paper obtains an asymptotic distribution for the least squares estimator of the self-exciting threshold autoregressive model, which was introduced by Tong (1983), under the assumption that the…

Endogeneity in Semiparametric Threshold Regression Model With Two Threshold Variables

This paper considers a semiparametric threshold regression model with two threshold variables, extending Chen et al. (2012) and Kourtellos et al. (2021). The proposed model allows the endogeneity for…

A NOTE ON LEAST ABSOLUTE DEVIATION ESTIMATION OF A THRESHOLD MODEL

This paper develops the limit law for the least absolute deviation estimator of the threshold parameter in linear regression. In this respect, we extend the literature of threshold models. The…

Bootstrap Methods for Median Regression Models

The least-absolute-deviations (LAD) estimator for a median-regression or censored median-regression model does not satisfy the standard conditions for obtaining asymptotic refinements through use of…

A Smoothed Maximum Score Estimator for the Binary Response Model

This paper describes a semiparametric estimator for binary response models in which there may be arbitrary heteroskedasticity of unknown form. The estimator is obtained by maximizing a smoothed…

Limiting properties of the least squares estimator of a continuous threshold autoregressive model

The continuous threshold autoregressive model is a sub-class of the threshold autoregressive model subject to the requirement that the piece-wise linear autoregressive function be continuous…

Some Impossibility Theorems in Econometrics with Applications to Structural and Dynamic Models

General characterizations of valid confidence sets and tests in problems involving (locally almost) unidentified (LAU) parameters are presented. In particular, any valid confidence set for an…

Inference When a Nuisance Parameter Is Not Identified under the Null Hypothesis

Many econometric testing problems involve nuisance parameters which are not identified under the null hypotheses. This paper studies the asymptotic distribution theory for such tests. The asymptotic…
