Thanks for the reply. The thing is that I'm replicating another study
where they used median regression with fixed effects. The important
thing for me is just to be able to do it in Stata, I'll think about
the validity later.
Is there any way this can be done?

Check out the latest edition of Wooldridge, Jeffrey M. Econometric Analysis of Cross Section and Panel Data. MIT Press (I think the publication date is 2010).
