Shift Restrictions and Semiparametric Estimation in Ordered Response Models
有序响应模型中的平移限制与半参数估计
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 applications, particularly in new product demand forecasting from survey data subject…
