Probability distributions, which are typically used to describe income distributions, are not suitable to describe a population's distribution of wealth because of the existence of negative observations and a large concentration of values close to zero. To overcome these problems, we describe...

The paper presents a Bayes analysis of an autoregressive-moving average model and its components based on exact likelihood and weak priors for the parameters where the priors are defined so that they incorporate stationarity and invertibility restrictions naturally. A Gibbs-Metropolis hybrid...

This paper provides a general procedure to estimate structural vector autoregressions. The algorithm can be used in constant or time-varying coefficient models, and in the latter case, the law of motion of the coefficients can be linear or non-linear. It can deal in a unified way with...
