In this paper, we assess whether key relations between US interest rates have been stable over time. This is done by estimating trivariate hybrid time-varying parameter Bayesian VAR models with stochastic volatility for the three-month Treasury bill rate, the slope of the Treasury yield curve...

Africa is investing and recalibrating its digital infrastructure in the financial and other sectors to support economic growth and development. It is in light of this, the study seeks to examine from an empirical perspective whether digitisation has a significant role in financial development in...

Sample surveys are extensively used to provide reliable direct estimates for large areas or domains with enough sample sizes at national and regional levels. However, zones are unplanned domains by the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) program and need more sample sizes to produce direct...

Transmission channels from monetary shocks might be identified by studying the features of the production network. The main aim of this paper is to provide insights about the role of production network into the propagation of monetary policy shocks in G7 economies. Time-varying Bayesian...

Weibull distribution has been considered one of the most common and valuable distributions for building and analyzing good models for lifetime data. Many researchers have studied the properties of Weibull distribution, also in search of the best method to estimate both parameters. In this paper,...

Nonlinear regression models are extensively applied across various scientific disciplines. It is vital to accurately fit the optimal nonlinear model while considering the biases of the Bayesian optimal design. We present a Bayesian optimal design by utilising the Dirichlet process as a prior....

We present a unified duality approach to Bayesian persuasion. The optimal dual variable, interpreted as a price function on the state space, is shown to be a supergradient of the concave closure of the objective function at the prior belief. Strong duality holds when the objective function is...
