Abstract

This paper presents a two-stage procedure for estimating the conditional support curve of a random variable X, given the information of a random vector X. Quantile estimation is followed by an extremal analysis on the residuals for problems which can be written as regression models. The technique is applied to data from the National Bureau of Economic Research and US Census Bureau's Center for Economic Studies which contain all fourdigit manufacturing industries. Simulation results show that in linear regression models the proposed estimation procedure is more efficient than the extreme linear regression quantile.
