Using 2SLS estimation, we propose two tests for a threshold in models with endogenous regressors: a sup LR test and a sup Wald test. Here, the 2SLS estimation is not conventional because it uses additional information about the first-stage being linear or not. Because of this additional information, our tests can be more accurate than the threshold test in Caner and Hansen (2004) which is based on conventional GMM estimation. We derive the asymptotic distributions of the two tests for a linear…

The method is robust to nonlinear dependence structures between the regression error term and the threshold variable implied by the Archimedean family of copulas and allows us to consistently estimate the threshold and the slope parameters of the model based on a least squares method.
