In this paper, we introduce the weighted-average quantile regression model. We argue that this model is of interest in many applied settings and develop an estimator for parameters of this model. We show that our estimator is √T-consistent and asymptotically normal with mean zero under weak...

We show that the higher-orders and their interactions of the common sparse linear factors can effectively subsume the factor zoo. We propose a forward selection Fama-MacBeth procedure as a method to estimate a high-dimensional stochastic discount factor model, isolating the most relevant...
