Dear Austin,
I'm well aware of the limitations of the approach proposed by Sachin
(i.e. inconsistent estimates of the coefficients' s.e.).
I got in touch with Stata's technical support and they suggested to run
the 1st stage manually, obtain the fitted values and then bootstrap the
(quantile regression) 2nd stage with the fitted values. They also sent
me some examples, which I'm studying at the moment.
I'll forward them and all the material shortly.
Matteo
