Keyword: Quantile regression, endogeneity test, Hausman test. Mots clé de la conférence: Econométrie, Modèles semi et non paramétriques Abstract: In this paper we develop a test to detect the presence of endogeneity in di¤erent quantiles in the conditional distribution of a variable of interest. This Hausman test type is based on one estimator consistent only under no endogeneity at the examined quantile and another estimator consistent in both the null and the alternative hypotheses. We derive the asymptotic distribution of the test statistic. Moreover, we study the …nite sample properties of this test with Monte Carlo simulations of which results exhibit substantial power in the studied cases. Finally, we apply our test to Engel curve estimation with UK data. We …nd that the pattern of the endogenenity of the total expenditure for various commodities (food, alcohol, fuel, transport, services) is complex when examining it across quantiles. Résumé: Dans ce papier nous développons un test pour détecter la présence d’endogénéité en di¤érents quantiles de la distribution conditionnelle d’une variables d’intérêt. Ce test a la d’Hausman est basé sur un estimateur convergent seulement sous absence d’endogénéité et un autre estimateur convergent a la fois dans les hypothèses nulles et alternatives. Nous déerivons la distribution asymptotique de la statistique de test. De plus nous étudions les propriétés à distance …nie de ce test à l’aide de simulations de Monte Carlo dont les réesultats montrent une puissance considérable dans les cas étudiés. Finalement, nous appliquons notre test à l’estimation de courbes d’Engel avec des données britaniques. Nous trouvons que la structure de l’endogénéité de la dépense totale pour divers biens (alimentation, alcool, fuel, transport, services) est complexe lorsqu’elle est examinée à travers les quantiles.

Instrumental Variable Quantile Regressions in Large Panels with Fixed Effects

This paper studies panel quantile regression models with endogeneity and additive fixed effects. We focus on static panel model where regressors and instruments are not predetermined. The fixed effect approach causes an incidental parameter bias in the estimates of the parameters of interest, and we characterize this bias under an asymptotic where both panel dimensions become large. We encounte...

The Effect of Schooling and Ability on Achievement Test Scores

This paper develops two methods for estimating the effect of schooling on achievement test scores that control for the endogeneity of schooling by postulating that both schooling and test scores are generated by a common unobserved latent ability. These methods are applied to data on schooling and test scores. Estimates from the two methods are in close agreement. We Þnd that the effects of sch...

A Copula-based Quantile Model for Crude oil Return-Volatility Dependence Modelling: Case of Iran Heavy Oil

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between Iran’s heavy crude oil price returns and volatility dependence using the Copula-based quantile model (CQM). CQM is an efficient tool for analyzing nonlinear time series models as it has no need for initial assumptions.  We use monthly data from January 1990 to December 2019. We use the Hadrick-Prescott filter to calculate...

The Effect of Education on Labor Wages in Iranian Urban Households Based on Quantile Regression

The purpose of this article is to examine the impact of education and work experience on earning. For this purpose, Mincer’s wage equation, quantile regression estimation method and the microdata from Iranian survey of household income and expenses in 2016 have been used. Estimation results show that education returns are positive in all income quantiles, and education in lower-income quantiles...
