The emergence of Bayesian methodology has facilitated respondent-level conjoint models, and deriving utilities from choice experiments has become very popular among those modeling product line decisions or new product introductions. This review begins with a paradox of why experimental choices...

The Paper provides new tools for the evaluation of DSGE models, and applies it to a large-scale New Keynesian dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model with price and wage stickiness and capital accumulation. Specifically, we approximate the DSGE model by a vector autoregression (VAR),...

It has been shown in the behavioral decision making, marketing research, and psychometric literature that the structure underlying preferences can change during the administration of repeated measurements (e.g., conjoint analysis) and data collection because of effects from learning, fatigue,...

Abstract In a strength-stress interference model, we are interested in estimating the structural reliability of a system. Here we present Bayesian procedures to estimate the structural reliability and other relevant parameters when covariates are incorporated in the model. Numerical examples...

In this paper we present the first estimation results of total investment expenditure for the Romanian economy, applying the Bayesian estimation approach of DSGE models presented in a number of various papers appeared recently in the open literature. The procedure requires the linear...

The problem of division is one of the most important problems in the emergence of probability. It has been long considered “solved” from a probabilistic viewpoint. However, we do not find the solution satisfactory. In this study, the problem is recasted as a statistical problem. The outcomes...

This paper uses a modified version of the DSGE model estimated in Smets and Wouters (2003) to generate a prior distribution for a vector autoregression, following the approach in Del Negro and Schorfheide (2003). This DSGE-VAR is fitted to Euro area data on GDP, consumption, investment, nominal...

La desagregación de magnitudes económicas de grandes áreas en sus valores para áreas menores (por ejemplo, NUTS III en la UE) en las que la insuficiencia estadística invalida los procedimientos contables, es un problema relevante en la Estadística aplicada. En este trabajo se propone para...
