Consistency of the least squares estimator in threshold regression with endogeneity

Author

Listed:
  • Yu, Ping

Abstract

This paper shows that when the threshold variable is independent of other covariates, such as in the structural change model, the least squares estimator of the threshold point is consistent even if endogeneity is present.
