achievement. Yet other studies report no effects, and the literature as a whole awaits correction for potential publication bias … employ recently developed nonlinear techniques for publication bias correction and Bayesian model averaging techniques that … address model uncertainty. The results suggest publication bias among studies featured in top five economics journals, but not …

We show that in parametric likelihood models the first order bias in the posterior mode and the posterior mean can be … removed using objective Bayesian priors. These bias-reducing priors are defined as the solution to a set of differential … differential equations asymptotically and removes the first order bias. When we consider the posterior mode, this approach can be …
