In this paper we develop a quantile regression model for estimating unconditional M-quantiles in the presence of covariates. Extending the paper by Firpo et al (2009), we assess the impact of small changes in the explanatory variables across the entire unconditional distribution of the dependent variable by running a mean regression of the recentered influence function on the covariates. The proposed method is applied on data originating from the May 1985 Current Population Survey conducted by the US Census Bureau.
In questo articolo sviluppiamo un modello di regressione quantile per la stima di M-quantili marginali della variabile dipendente in presenza di covariate. Estendendo il lavoro di Firpo et al (2009), stimiamo l’effetto marginale delle variabili esplicative sull’intera distribuzione marginale della variabile dipendente tramite un’analisi di regressione della funzione d’influenza sulle covariate. La metodologia proposta viene applicata sui dati raccolti dal Current Population Survey del 1985 condotto dall’US Census Bureau.

Abstract
In this paper we develop a quantile regression model for estimating unconditional M-quantiles in the presence of covariates. Extending the paper by Firpo et al (2009), we assess the impact of small changes in the explanatory variables across the entire unconditional distribution of the dependent variable by running a mean regression of the recentered influence function on the covariates. The proposed method is applied on data originating from the May 1985 Current Population Survey conducted by the US Census Bureau.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
