This class of models includes censored and truncated Tobit models, binary choice models, and duration models with unobserved individual heterogeneity and random censoring. I also investigate a weighting scheme that achieves the semi parametric efficiency bound.en-USSemiparametric Least Squares (SLS) and Weighted SLS Estimation of Single-Index ModelsWorking Paper
