This work proves that inferences on parameter vectors based on moment inequalities typically used in linear models with outcome censoring are sharp, i.e., they exhaust all the information in the data and the model. This holds for fixed and randomly censored linear models under median...

Parametric mixture models are commonly used in applied work, especially empirical economics, where these models are often employed to learn for example about the proportions of various types in a given population. This paper examines the inference question on the proportions (mixing probability)...
