This note proves that the estimator of panel data censored regression models proposed in Honoré [2] is median unbiased when only one parameter is estimated. This result is obtained without parametric assumptions about the distribution of the error terms.

Microeconomic theory often yields models with multiple nonlinear equations, nonseparable unobservables, nonlinear cross equation restrictions, and many potentially multicolinear covariates. We show how statistical dimension reduction techniques can be applied in models with these features. In...

Latent variable discrete choice model estimation and interpretation depend on the density function of the latent variable's unobserved random component. This paper provides a simple semiparametric estimator of the moments of this density. The results can be used as starting values for parametric...
