Jan 8, 2020 at 14:58 comment added whuber @Stop This question begins with the precise mathematical statement of the model. Except insofar as additional text might explain the symbols, that overrides all else.
Jan 8, 2020 at 13:27 comment added Jesper for President @whuber I struggle to make sense of that comment. Is it because rather than using the words "endogenous"/"exogenous" which you perhaps see as to vague you would prefer a more precise mathematical statement? Or does it reflect some other disagreement with respect to approaching the question?

Jan 8, 2020 at 9:03 comment added bonifaz @Tim, yes, that's what I meant with 'implicitly defined'.
Jan 8, 2020 at 2:26 comment added whuber @Stop "Endogenous" and "exogenous" do not add anything to the model. If they do, then that needs to be incorporated in the model statement!

Jan 7, 2020 at 22:56 comment added Jesper for President How is that supposed to help when $x$ is assumed exogenous but $y_i$ is assumed endogenous (if that is indeed what @bonifaz means by "obvious endogeneity concerns")
Jan 7, 2020 at 22:07 comment added whuber Why not write the relation as $x_i=f(y_i,\theta)+\epsilon_i$ where $\epsilon_i=-\varepsilon_i$ and $f(y_i,\theta)=y_i-h(y_i,\theta)$? That's a standard regression setting, presenting no special problems.
Jan 7, 2020 at 21:49 comment added Tim $y_i$ is generated by a function of $y_i$ itself? Are you sure that this is correct? $h(y_i, \theta) = y_i - x_i - \varepsilon_i $.
