An exogeneity test for a simultaneous equation Tobit model with an application to labor supply

RJ Smith, RW Blundell�- Econometrica: journal of the Econometric Society, 1986 - JSTOR
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER is to provide a simple test of weak exogeneity (WE) in limited

Maximum likelihood estimation in a class of nonregular cases

RL Smith�- Biometrika, 1985 - academic.oup.com
We consider maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of a probability density which
is zero for x < θ and asymptotically αc(x-θ) α−1 as x ↓ θ. Here θ and other parameters, …
