Semiparametric structural models of binary response: Shape restrictions and partial identification
The paper studies the partial identifying power of structural single equation threshold crossing models for binary responses when explanatory variables may be endogenous. The paper derives the sharp identi ed set of threshold functions for the case in which explanatory variables are discrete and provides a constructive proof of sharpness. There is special attention to a widely employed semipara...
متن کاملSemiparametric Binary Regression Models under Shape Constraints
We consider estimation of the regression function in a semiparametric binary regression model defined through an appropriate link function (with emphasis on the logistic link) using likelihood-ratio based inversion. The dichotomous response variable ∆ is influenced by a set of covariates that can be partitioned as (X,Z) where Z (real valued) is the covariate of primary interest and X (vector va...
متن کاملShift Restrictions and Semiparametric Estimation in Ordered Response Models
We develop a √ n-consistent and asymptotically normal estimator of the parameters (regression coefficients and threshold points) of a semiparametric ordered response model under the assumption of independence of errors and regressors. The independence assumption implies shift restrictions allowing identification of threshold points up to location and scale. The estimator is useful in various ap...

متن کاملSemiparametric Tests of Conditional Moment Restrictions under Weak or Partial Identification∗
We propose two new semiparametric specification tests which test whether a vector of conditional moment conditions is satisfied for any vector of parameter values θ0. Unlike most existing tests, our tests are asymptotically valid under weak and/or partial identification and can accomodate discontinuities in the conditional moment functions. Our tests are moreover consistent provided that identi...
