Abstract This study examines the herd behavior in Vietnam stock market using a sample of firms listed on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange covering the time period 2005–2015. We find evidence of herding in both rising and falling market employing the common least squares estimation. Further analysis by applying quantile regression method also confirms the evidence of herding during the whole period. The results are robust when we split the data into two sub-periods.

<div><p class="Keywords">The purpose of this article was to describe the ability of the quantile regression method in overcoming the violation of classical assumptions. The classical assumptions that are violated in this study are variations of non-homogeneous error or heteroscedasticity. To achieve this goal, the simulated data generated with the design of certain data distribution. This study did a comparison between the models resulting from the use of the ordinary least squares and the quantile regression method to the same simulated data. Consistency of both methods was compared with conducting simulation studies as well. This study proved that the quantile regression method had standard error, confidence interval width and mean square error (MSE) value smaller than the ordinary least squares method. Thus it can be concluded that the quantile regression method is able to solve the problem of heteroscedasticity and produce better model than the ordinary least squares. In addition the ordinary least squares is not able to solve the problem of heteroscedasticity.</p></div>

In the design of prestressing concrete structures, the friction characteristics between strands and channels have an important influence on the distribution of prestressing force, which can be considered comprehensively by curvature and swing friction coefficients. However, the proposed friction coefficient varies widely and may lead to an inaccurate prestress estimation. In this study, four full-scale field specimens were established to measure the friction loss of prestressing tendons with electromagnetic sensors and anchor cable dynamometers to evaluate the friction coefficient. The least square method and Bayesian quantile regression method were adopted to calculate the friction coefficient, and the results were compared with that in the specifications. Field test results showed that Bayesian quantile regression method was more effective and significant in the estimation of the friction coefficient.

We propose a semiparametrically efficient estimator for α-risk-minimizing portfolio weights. Based on the work of Bassett et al. (2004), an α-risk-minimizing portfolio optimization is formulated as a linear quantile regression problem. The quantile regression method uses a pseudolikelihood based on an asymmetric Laplace reference density, and asymptotic properties such as consistency and asymptotic normality are obtained. We apply the results of Hallin et al. (2008) to the problem of constructing α-risk-minimizing portfolios using residual signs and ranks and a general reference density. Monte Carlo simulations assess the performance of the proposed method. Empirical applications are also investigated.

The purpose of this research to identify the role of gold and government bonds role as safe haven in Indonesian capital market during 2014-2018. In this study we analyze the influence of stock on gold and government return on bear market conditions, using quantile regression. The quantile regression method was used to analyze the data.  The result if this study indicated that gold and government bonds cannot play a safe haven consistently throughout the study period due to political conditions, government policies and psychological factors (doubt) from investors. For the following research, researchers should examine more deeply about the factors that influence the loss of the role of safe haven in both investment instruments.

Abstrak Regresi kuantil sebagai metode regresi yang robust dapat digunakan untuk mengatasi dampak kasus yang tidak biasa pada estimasi regresi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas regresi kuantil untuk menangani pencilan potensial dalam regresi linear berganda dibandingkan dengan metode kuadrat terkecil (MKT). Penelitian ini menggunakan data simulasi dengan p=3; n = 20, 40, 60, 100, 200 and   and  diulang 1000 kali. Efektivitas metode regresi kuantil dan MKT dalam pendugaan parameter β diukur dengan Mean square error (MSE) dan Akaike Information Criterion (AIC). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa regresi kuantil mampu menangani pencilan potensial dan memberikan penaksir yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan MKT berdasarkan nilai MSE dan AIC. Kata kunci: AIC, MSE, pencilan, regresi kuantil Abstract Quantitative regression as a robust regression method can be used to overcome the impact of unusual cases on regression estimation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of quantile regression to deal with potential outliers in multiple linear regression compared to the least squares methodordinary least square (OLS).   This study uses simulation data with p=3; n = 20, 40, 60, 100, 200 and   and  repeated 1000 times. The effectiveness of the quantile regression method and OLS in estimating β   parameters was measured by Mean square error (MSE) and Akaike Information Criterion (AIC). The results showed that quantile regression was able to handle potential outliers and provide better predictors compared to MKT based on MSE and AIC values. Keywords: AIC, MSE, outliers, quantile regression
