[See Chapter 3 for NLSY use] Extremal quantile index is a concept that the quantile index will drift to zero (or one) as the sample size increases. The three chapters of my dissertation consists of three applications of this concept in three distinct econometric problems. In Chapter 3, I rely on the concept of extremal quantile index to achieve identification at infinity of the sample selection models and propose a new inference method. |
