Understanding Diamond Pricing Using Unconditional Quantile Regressions
This paper investigates the relationship between the selling price of diamonds and their weight in carats. For this purpose, we use a unique sample of 112,080 certified diamonds collected from www.info-diamond.com during the first week of July 2011. We find substantial differences in pricing depending on cut shape. The price of diamonds increases markedly with the carat weight, with a price ela...
متن کاملNon-linear Causal Inference using Gaussianity Measures
We provide theoretical and empirical evidence for a type of asymmetry between causes and effects that is present when these are related via linear models contaminated with additive non-Gaussian noise. Assuming that the causes and the effects have the same distribution, we show that the distribution of the residuals of a linear fit in the anti-causal direction is closer to a Gaussian than the di...
متن کاملQuantile Uncorrelation and Instrumental Regressions
We introduce a notion of median uncorrelation that is a natural extension of mean (linear) uncorrelation. A scalar random variable Y is median uncorrelated with a k-dimensional random vector X if and only if the slope from an LAD regression of Y on X is zero. Using this simple definition, we characterize properties of median uncorrelated random variables, and introduce a notion of multivariate ...
متن کاملJackknife Model Averaging for Quantile Regressions
In this paper we consider the problem of frequentist model averaging for quantile regression (QR) when all the models under investigation are potentially misspecified and the number of parameters in some or all models is diverging with the sample size To allow for the dependence between the error terms and the regressors in the QR models, we propose a jackknife model averaging (JMA) estima...
متن کاملTeacher salaries and teacher aptitude: An analysis using quantile regressions
This study investigates the relationship between salaries and scholastic aptitude for fulltime public high school humanities and mathematics/sciences teachers. For identification, we rely on variation in salaries between adjacent school districts within the same state. The results indicate that teacher aptitude is positively correlated with teacher salaries with an elasticity point estimate of ...
