This note is concerned with estimating censored quantile regressions (CQR). As its major contribution, a' new algorithm, called BRCENS, is developed as an adaption of the Barrodale-Roberts algorithm for the standard quantile regression problem. In a subsequent simulation study, BRCENS performs...

With representative agents maximizing their expected Xife time Utility, it can be shown under certain functional form assumptions that consumption follows a random walk and should be cointegrated across countries, because in an optimal risk pooling arrangement agents smooth consumptions with...
