A semiparametric regression estimator under left truncation and right censoring

Abstract

An estimator is proposed for semiparametric linear regression models with left truncated and right censored dependent variables. The estimator is derived from a moment condition following the principles of Newey [Newey, W.K., 2001. Conditional moment restrictions in censored and truncated regression models. Econometric Theory 17, 863–888] on conditional moment conditions. Consistency of the estimator is shown and simulation is used for illustration of the small sample properties.
