Estimating an inflation index by quantile regression

Author

  • Eric Blankmeyer

Abstract

This article gives a methodology for estimating an inflation index using the quantile regression of Bassett and Koenker. The regression -- orthogonal in the logarithmic price changes -- is computed by linear programming for each percentile of inflation; and the results are bootstrapped to estimate standard errors. The procedure is applied to monthly data on seven metals.
