A new quantile treatment effect model for studying smoking effect on birth weight during Mother's pregnancy

This paper proposes a new quantile regression model to characterize the heterogeneity for distributional effects of maternal smoking during pregnancy on infant birth weight across different the mother's age. By imposing a parametric restriction on the quantile functions of the potential outcome...
