Abstract
This paper provides a selective review of the recent developments on econometric/statistical modeling in quantile treatment effects under both selection on observables and on unobservables. First, we discuss identification, estimation and inference of quantile treatment effects under the framework of selection on observables. Then, we consider the case where the treatment variable is endogenous or self-selected, for which an instrumental variable method provides a powerful tool to tackle this problem. Finally, some extensions are discussed to the data-rich environments, to the regression discontinuity design, and some other approaches to identify quantile treatment effects are also discussed. In particular, some future research works in this area are addressed.
