We study the small sample properties of conditional quantile estimators such as classical and IV quantile regression. First, we propose a higher-order analytical framework for comparing competing estimators in small samples and assessing the accuracy of common inference procedures. Our framework...

This paper estimates the drift parameters in the fractional Vasicek model from a continuous record of observations via maximum likelihood (ML). The asymptotic theory for the ML estimates (MLE) is established in the stationary case, the explosive case, and the boundary case for the entire range...
