Quantile and Average Effects in Nonseparable Panel Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper gives identification and estimation results for quantile and average effects in nonseparable panel models, when the distribution of period specific disturbances does not vary over time. Bounds are given for interesting effects with discrete regressors that are strictly exogenous or predetermined. We allow for location and scale time effects and show how monotonicity can be used to shrink the bounds. We derive rates at which the bounds tighten as the number T of time series observations grows and give an empirical illustration.

Unconditional Quantile Regression for Panel Data with Exogenous or Endogenous Regressors∗
Unconditional quantile treatment effects are difficult to estimate in the presence of fixed effects. Panel data are frequently used because fixed effects or differences are necessary to identify the parameters of interest. The inclusion of fixed effects or differencing of data, however, changes the interpretation of the estimates. This paper introduces a quantile estimator for panel data which ...
متن کاملBayesian Quantile Regression with Adaptive Lasso Penalty for Dynamic Panel Data
Dynamic panel data models include the important part of medicine, social and economic studies. Existence of the lagged dependent variable as an explanatory variable is a sensible trait of these models. The estimation problem of these models arises from the correlation between the lagged depended variable and the current disturbance. Recently, quantile regression to analyze dynamic pa...
متن کاملNonparametric inference on quantile marginal effects
We propose a nonparametric method to construct confidence intervals for quantile marginal effects (i.e., derivatives of the conditional quantile function). Under certain conditions, a quantile marginal effect equals a causal (structural) effect in a general nonseparable model, or equals an average thereof within a particular subpopulation. The high-order accuracy of our method is derived. Simul...

متن کاملLocal Structural Quantile Effects in a Model with a Nonseparable Control Variable∗
I propose an asymptotically normal estimator for a local structural quantile effect in a nonseparable triangular system (see e.g., Imbens and Newey (2002) and Chesher (2003)). In order to obtain a practical estimator while keeping the flexibility of the triangular system, I consider a linear specification that has a control variable included in a nonparametric and nonseparable manner. In simula...
