Climate Change Risk, Performance, and Value Added in Agricultural Sector by Ramin Amani, Zanko Ghorbani, Zana Mozaffari

“…The study period spans from 2010 to 2020, and the quantile regression method is employed on panel data to conduct the analysis. Methodology The general definition of quantile regression states that if the linear regression model is assumed as the following equation, we have: yi=ˊxiβτ+uτi.  0<τ<1                                                                                 (1) Quantτ(yi|xi)=xiβτ                                                                                  (2) Equation (2) shows the τth conditional quantile function of the y distribution under the condition of random variables x in which the following condition holds: Quantτ(uτi|xi)=0                                                                                              (3) In the quantile regression structure, the effect of observable features on the conditional distribution is estimated through the process of minimizing the absolute value of the error element. …”
