How did the German health care reform of 1997 change the distribution of the demand for health services?
Winkelmann, Rainer - 2003
I consider the problem of evaluating the effect of a health care reform on the demand for doctor visits when the effect is potentially different in different parts of the outcome distribution. Quantile regression is a useful technique for studying such heterogeneous treatment effects. Recent...

Exploring the puzzle of human reproduction : register data based evidence from France and Germany
Lipowski, Cäcilia; Wilke, Ralf A.; Koebel, Bertrand M. - 2020
analyse and directly compare fertility patterns in two major European economies over a period of 15 years. Strong evidence is … found that opportunity costs play a role in fertility decisions, and for a positive income effect for females with high … earnings. Females in Germany adapt their fertility behaviour more strongly in response to economic incentives than their …

Generic inference on quantile and quantile effect functions for discrete outcomes
Chernozhukov, Victor; Fernández-Val, Iván; Melly, Blaise - 2016
This paper provides a method to construct simultaneous confidence bands for quantile and quantile effect functions for possibly discrete or mixed discrete-continuous random variables. The construction is generic and does not depend on the nature of the underlying problem. It works in conjunction...
