This study empirically addresses claims about the effects of strikes on output growth, inflation, and non-agricultural employment in South Africa using a structural analysis of Bayesian VAR models with a Normal inverted Wishart prior for the period 1982-2018. We find empirical support for a...

Panic-buying and shortages of essential commodities is common during early phases of a disaster or an epidemic. The goal of this paper is develop a methodology which includes social media information in optimization models of searching essential commodities during disasters and improves the...

The goal of this paper was to exploit the Bayesian approach and MCMC procedures to structure an internal model to quantify the reserve risk of a non-life insurer under Solvency II regulation. To this aim, we provide an extension of the Correlated Chain Ladder (CCL) model to the one-year time...
