Abstract
We consider a class of nonparametric quantile regression (QR) models
with endogenous regressors. Building upon the semiparametric QR model in
Lee (2007), we develop a nonparametric framework for quantile regression in a
triangular system of equations. We provide a set of conditions under which the
parameters are nonparametrically identified. Then, we propose to use the penalized
sieve minimum distance (PSMD) estimation approach of Chen and Pouzo
(2012) to estimate the parameters. We establish the consistency and convergence
rate of the PSMD estimator. Since the identification is based on a control function
approach, the PSMD estimator does not suffer from an ill-posed inverse
problem. A Monte-Carlo simulation study confirms that the PSMD estimator
performs well in finite samples.
