In this paper, we develop a test to detect the presence of endogeneity in conditional quantiles. Our test is a Hausman-type test based on the distance between two estimators, of which one is consistent only under no endogeneity while the other is consistent regardless of the presence of...

In this paper, we propose a variance reduction method for quantile regressions with endogeneity problems. First, we derive the asymptotic distribution of two-stage quantile estimators based on the fitted-value approach under very general conditions on both error terms and exogenous variables....

In this paper, we conduct an econometric analysis of the links of on-the-job training (OJT) and worker remuneration in the area of Tunis using a case study data based on eight firms. We pay particular attention to the way the OJT cost may be shared between firms and workers. This is done through...
