Quantile regression with clustered data

Paulo Parente and João Santos Silva

No 1305, Discussion Papers from University of Exeter, Department of Economics

Abstract: We show that the quantile regression estimator is consistent and asymptotically normal when the error terms are correlated within clusters but independent across clusters. A consistent estimator of the covariance matrix of the asymptotic distribution is provided and we propose a speci?cation test capable of detecting the presence of intra-cluster correlation. A small simulation study illustrates the ?nite sample performance of the test and of the covariance matrix estimator.
