"Quantile regression aims at estimating either the conditional median or other quantiles of the response variable. Essentially, quantile regression is the extension of linear regression and we use it when the conditions of linear regression are not applicable. LS-Regressions, Or…

This brief addresses the estimation of quantile regression models from a practical perspective, which will support researchers who need to use conditional quantile regression to measure economic relationships among a set of variables. It will also benefit students using the meth…
My dissertation is composed of three chapters and although the chapters are different in terms of topics and methods, they all utilize simulation based techniques, hence the title “Explorations in Simulation Based Techniques”. The first chapter focuses on estimation methods for …
This paper provides an international comparison of rates of intergenerational income mobility. Age-dependence of income persistence estimates (explained and quantified in this work) suggests that comparisons of multiple studies using different selection rules will result in erro…
The goal of this thesis is to propose a new quantile regression approach to identify and estimate the quantiles of the private value conditional distribution in ascending and rst price auctions under the Independent Private Value (IPV) paradigm. The quantile regression framework…
Chapter 1 examines the log wage gap between male and female wage and salary earners in urban Turkey. Correcting for selection is crucial in analyzing this gender gap considering that Turkey has the lowest female labor force participation in the OECD. Using quantile regression te…
The motivation for this thesis came from the provision of a large data set from Saudi Arabia giving anthropometric measurements of children and adolescents from birth to eighteen years of age, with a requirement to construct growth charts. The construction of these growth charts…
The objective of the study was to identify the factors that affect the survival lifetime of HIV+ terminal patients in rural district hospitals of Albert Luthuli municipality in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. A cohort of HIV+ terminal patients was retrospectively follow…
A guide to the implementation and interpretation of Quantile Regression models This book explores the theory and numerous applications of quantile regression, offering empirical data analysis as well as the software tools to implement the methods. The main focus of this book is …
