Global Identification of the Semiparametric Box-Cox Model

Abstract

This paper establishes the identifiability of the parameters of the Box-Cox model under restrictions that do not require the disturbance in the model to be independent of the explanatory variables. The proposed restrictions are semiparametric in nature: they restrict the support of the conditional distribution of the disturbance but do not require the latter to be known.
