The distribution of treatment eects extends the prevailing focus on average treatment eects to the tails of the outcome variable and quantile treatment eects denote the predominant technique to compute those eects in the presence of a confounding mechanism. The underlying quantile regression is...

Anchored inflation expectations are of key importance for monetary policy. If long-terminflation expectations arewell-anchored, they should be unaffected by short-termeconomic news. This letter introduces newsregressions with multiple endogenous breaks to investigate the de- and re-anchoring of...
