Truncated dependent variable

In econometrics, truncated dependent variables are variables for which observations cannot be made for certain values in some range.[1] Estimation of models with such dependent variables require special care that properly recognizes the truncated nature of the variable, whether in parametric [2] [3] or semi- and non-parametric frameworks.
