Now I'd like to test whether the coefficients for individual IVs from these two regressions are significantly different - is this possible and do you know how I could do this in STATA?>
There's no particularly good reason that a QR for the third quartile
would be directly comparable to the OLS coefficients that I know of,
but perhaps I'm wrong. Medians often are, as long as the error
distribution is symmetric and doesn't have heavy tails. What you might
want to try doing is generate meaningful comparison cases and compute
the predicted 75th percentile from both regressions.
