Simultaneous Linear Quantile Regression: A Semiparametric Bayesian Approach
We introduce a semi-parametric Bayesian framework for a simultaneous analysis of linear quantile regression models. A simultaneous analysis is essential to attain the true potential of the quantile regression framework, but is computationally challenging due to the associated monotonicity constraint on the quantile curves. For a univariate covariate, we present a simpler equivalent characteriza...
متن کاملAssortative Mating and Income Inequality in Taiwan: A Quantile Regression Approach
Sociologists are inclined to predict that increases in homogamy may increase inequality among families, but the existing literature is short on such empirical evidence. Using quantile regression, which allows us to detect if effects of income determinants may vary across different economic strata, we examine whether, how, and to what extent “like marrying like” may lead to the increased inequal...
متن کاملA Quantile Regression Approach to Firm Growth
This paper explores the firm growth rate distribution in a Gibrat's Law context. The aim is to provide an empirical exploration of the determinants of firm growth. The work is novel in two respects. First, rather than limiting the analysis to focus on the conditional mean growth level, we investigate the complete shape of the distribution. Second, we show that the differences in the firm growth...
متن کاملHousehold Characteristics and Calorie Intake in Rural India: A Quantile Regression Approach∗
The present paper investigates the nutrition demand pattern for rural households in India. The non-parametric approach of quantile regression is applied to characterize the entire distribution of calorie consumption. This technique has an advantage over the traditional ordinary least square technique. It relaxes the assumption of a constant effect of the explanatory variables over the entire di...
متن کاملThe absolute health income hypothesis revisited: A Semiparametric Quantile Regression Approach∗
This paper uses the 1998-99 Canadian National Population Health Survey (NPHS) data to examine the health-income relationship that underlies the absolute income hypothesis. To allow for nonlinearity and data heterogeneity, we use a partially linear semiparametric quantile regression model. Among more than dozen of socioeconomic variables, we find that family income, age and the food security sta...
