Abstract

This survey article provides a comprehensive overview of methodologies developed to handle endogeneity in censored regression models. 
We emphasize their theoretical basis, and estimation methodologies. The paper summarizes the benefits and drawbacks of each technique and 
addresses expansions to nonlinear, panel, and high-dimensional settings, offering researchers practical assistance and identifying options for future 
methodological improvement in censored models with endogenous regressors.
