This paper develops generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation and inference procedures for quantile regression models. We propose a GMM estimator for simultaneous estimation across multiple quantiles. This estimator allows us to model quantile regression coefficients using flexible...

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...

We use Monte Carlo simulations and real data to assess the performance of alternative methods that deal with measurement error in investment equations. Our experiments show that individual-fixed effects, error heteroscedasticity, and data skewness severely affect the performance and reliability...
