摘要:This paper extends the simple threshold regression framework of Hansen (2000) and Caner and Hansen
(2004) to allow for endogeneity of the threshold variable. We develop a concentrated least squares
estimator of the threshold parameter based on an inverse Mills ratio bias correction. We show that our
estimator is consistent and investigate its performance using a Monte Carlo simulation that indicates
the applicability of the method in Önite samples
