Model uncertainty in matrix exponential spatial growth regression models
Piribauer, Philipp; Fischer, Manfred M. - 2014
This paper considers the most important aspects of model uncertainty for spatial regression models, namely the appropriate spatial weight matrix to be employed and the appropriate explanatory variables. We focus on the spatial Durbin model (SDM) specification in this study that nests most models...

The non-stationary influence of geography on the spatial agglomeration of production in the EU
Chasco, Coro; López, Ana María; Guillain, Rachel - 2008
In this paper, we investigate the relative importance of geographic features on the location of production in the EU. Specifically, we want to quantify how much of the spatial pattern of GDP can be attributed to only exogenous first nature elements (physical and political geography) and how much...

The determinants of the academic outcome: an Bayesian approach using a sample of economics students from the University of Brasilia, Brazil
Ferreira Lima, Luis Cristovao - 2012
Using a survey conduct with 240 Economics students of the University of Brasília in August, 2011, this paper explores the determinants of the academic outcome, measured as the Gross Point Average of the University. The econometric method used to estimate is Ordinary Least Squares with Bayesian...

Model Averaging and its Use in Economics
Steel, Mark F. J. - 2017
The method of model averaging has become an important tool to deal with model uncertainty, in particular in empirical settings with large numbers of potential models and relatively limited numbers of observations, as are common in economics. Model averaging is a natural response to model...

Model Averaging and its Use in Economics
Steel, Mark F. J. - 2017
The method of model averaging has become an important tool to deal with model uncertainty, for example in situations where a large amount of different theories exist, as are common in economics. Model averaging is a natural and formal response to model uncertainty in a Bayesian framework, and...

Bayesian Model Averaging in the Studies on Economic Growth in the EU Regions – Application of the gretl BMA package
Błażejowski, Marcin; Gazda, Jakub; Kwiatkowski, Jacek - 2016
Economic growth is again one of the most important economic issues in literature since the 1980s. This paper falls into the mainstream of regional studies on economic growth and it tries to answer the recurring question: what are the determinants of economic growth at regional level. The...

Robust analysis of convergence in per capita GDP in BRICS economies
Phiri, Andrew - 2018
Whilst the issue of whether or not per capita GDP adheres to the convergence theory continues to draw increasing attention within the academic paradigm, with very little consensus having been reached in the literature thus far. Our study contributes to the literature by examining the...
