Recent Advances in Quantile
Regression Models
A PracticalGuideline for EmpiricalResearch
Moshe Buchinsky
ABSTRACT
This paper provides a guideline for the practical use of the semi-paramet-
ric technique of quantile regression, concentrating on cross-section appli-
cations. It summarizes the most important issues in quantile regression ap-
plications and fills some gaps in the literature. The paper (a) presents
several alternative estimators for the covariance matrix of the q
