Instrumental Variable Estimation in Linear Quantile Regression Models with Measurement Error

We extend the instrumental variable method for the mean regression models to linear quantile regression models with errors-in-variables. The proposed estimator is consistent and asymptotically normally distributed under some fairly general conditions. Moreover, this approach is practical and easy to implement. Simulation studies show that the finite sample performance of the estimator is satisfactory. The method is applied to a real data study of education and wages.
