We smooth the simple estimating equation in a censored quantile regression model with a nonparametric kernel function for higher order refinements. We show that the confidence region based on the smoothed empirical likelihood estimator, known to be the first-order equivalent to the standard censored quantile estimator, has coverage error of order O(n^-1). Monte Carlo experiments suggest that the Bartlett corrected smoothed empirical likelihood method performs well in small samples, and it provides more accurate and computationally efficient results than the commonly used (smoothed) bootstrap methods. Moreover, simulation results show that the proposed confidence region has better finite sample performance than the confidence interval obtained from the un-corrected smoothed empirical likelihood estimation, which are consistent with the argument of Whang (2003) that Bartlett correction can reduce the coverage error of smoothed empirical likelihood confidence region to order O(n^-2).Maste
