Percentage and proportion data are modelled by so-called fractional
response regression models after Papke and Wooldridge (1996, Journal
of Applied Econometrics, Volume 11, Issue 6, pages 619–632). As you
correctly note, censored regression models do not make sense in this
context.
A comprehensive and recent survey is provided in Ramalho, Ramalho and
Murteira (2011, Journal of Economic Surveys, Volume 25, Issue 1, pages
19–68).
