Dealing With Endogeneity in Threshold Models Using Copulas
利用 Copula 处理门槛模型中的内生性
We suggest a new method dealing with the problem of endogeneity of the threshold variable in structural threshold regression models based on copula theory. This method enables us to relax the assumption that the threshold variable is normally distributed and to capture the dependence structure between the threshold regression error term and the threshold variable independently of the marginal distribution of the threshold variable. For Gaussian and Student’s t copulas, this…
