Bias-Corrected Quantile Regression Estimation of Censored Regression Models

Cizek, Pavel; Sadikoglu, S. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2014

Motivated by weak small-sample performance of the censored regression quantile estimator proposed by Powell (1986a), two- and three-step estimation methods were introduced for estimation of the censored regression model under conditional quantile restriction. While those stepwise estimators have...
