Quantile Regression for General Spatial Panel Data Models with Fixed Effects

This paper considers the quantile regression model with both individual fixed effect and time period effect for general spatial panel data. Instrumental variable quantile regression estimators will be proposed. Asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators will be developed. Simulations are conducted to study the performance of the proposed method. We will illustrate our methodologies using a cigarettes demand data set.

Quantile Regression for Partially Linear Varying Coefficient Spatial Autoregressive Models

This paper considers the quantile regression approach for partially linear spatial autoregressive models with possibly varying coefficients. B-spline is employed for the approximation of varying coefficients. The instrumental variable quantile regression approach is employed for parameter estimation. The rank score tests are developed for hypotheses on the coefficients, including the hypotheses on the non-varying coefficients and the constancy of the varying coefficients. The asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators and test statistics are both established. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to study the finite sample performance of the proposed method. Analysis of a real data example is presented for illustration.
