Different episodes of economic growth display widely varying distributional characteristics, both across countries and over time. Growth is sometimes accompanied by rising and sometimes by falling inequality. Applied economists have come to rely on the Growth Incidence Curve, which gives the...

This paper develops a random effects model for quantile regression (QR). We establish identification of the QR coefficients, and develop practical estimation and inference procedures. We employ a simple pooled QR estimator to estimate the coefficients of interest, and derive its statistical...
