		Sequential Threshold-Spatial-Quantile Panel Estimation //
		Implements a sequential panel estimation protocol for regional
		economic panels that combines three estimation layers in a
		fixed order. The first layer applies a two-way fixed effects
		baseline. The second layer applies the panel threshold
		regression method of Hansen (1999)
		doi:10.1016/S0304-4076(99)00025-1 to identify structural breaks
		at an unknown threshold of a moderating variable, with
		bootstrap inference following Hansen (2000)
		doi:10.1111/1468-0262.00124. The third layer applies a spatial
		Durbin model with an impact decomposition following LeSage and
		Pace (2009, ISBN:978-1-4200-6424-7) to quantify direct and
		indirect spillover effects. The fourth layer applies the two-
		step panel quantile estimator of Canay (2011)
		doi:10.1111/j.1368-423X.2011.00349.x to document distributional
		heterogeneity in the outcome. The threshold identified in the
		second layer defines a subsample used as structured input to
		the fourth layer, and a consistency check evaluates whether the
		three sets of results are jointly compatible with a common
		underlying structural relationship. An illustrative panel of 33
		districts of the state of Maharashtra, India, observed over 10
		agricultural years, is included with the package.
