Solved – (Quantile regression) Which standard error for heteroscedasticity & serial correlation

autocorrelationeconometricsheteroscedasticityquantile regressionquantiles

I have heteroscedastic and autocorrelated residuals in my multivariate quantile regression model.

What's the quantile regression standard error estimator that's robust to this? Something hopefully like HAC Newey West but for quantile regression, or perhaps a bootstrap.

You're definitely going to want to bootstrap. Have you looked at the R package "quantreg"?

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/quantreg/quantreg.pdf

There's a function, boot.rq, for bootstrapping a standard quantile regression. For B bootstrap replications, the function gives you B estimates for each parameter. The standard error for each parameter estimate is just the standard deviation of the B estimates.
