Abstract
► We estimate cross-county growth regressions by semiparametric quantile regression. ► The covariate effects are found to vary nonlinearly with social capital. ► Different quantiles of growth exhibit different nonlinear covariate effects. ► The proposed model is found to fit the data better than its parametric counterpart.
