Hello there,

I am wanting to run a quantile regression to examine gender differences in earnings. My dependent variable is wages, particularly the hourly wages. Thus, I am using the log of this variable, but my data has negative values, this is there exist some observations where the quantity of hour worked per week is greater than weekly wages. I have read some blogs they suggest to use a constant, but others don't recommend it. Please, you can help some idea about it.

Thanks,
