A Bayesian analysis is presented of a time series which is the sum of a stationary component with a smooth spectral density and a deterministic component consisting of a linear combination of a trend and periodic terms. The periodic terms may have known or unknown frequencies. The advantage of...

In the context of an autoregressive panel data model with fixed effect, we examine the relationship between consistent parameter estimation and consistent model selection. Consistency in parameter estimation is achieved by using the tansformation of the fixed effect proposed by Lancaster (2002)....

Large scale, computationally expensive simulation models pose a particular challenge when it comes to estimating their … parameters from empirical data. Most simulation models do not possess closed form expressions for their likelihood function …, requiring the use of simulation-based inference, such as simulated method of moments, indirect inference or approximate Bayesian …

In this paper we describe the use of modern numerical integration methods for making posterior inferences in composed error stochastic frontier models for panel data or individual cross-sections. Two Monte Carlo methods have been used in practical applications. We survey these two methods in...

This chapter proposes an up-to-date review of estimation strategies available for the Bayesian inference of GARCH-type models. The emphasis is put on a novel efficient procedure named AdMitIS. The methodology automatically constructs a mixture of Student-t distributions as an approximation to...

This paper presents the R package bayesGARCH which provides functions for the Bayesian estimation of the parsimonious but effective GARCH(1,1) model with Student-t innovations. The estimation procedure is fully automatic and thus avoids the time-consuming and difficult task of tuning a sampling...

The goal of this article is an exact Bayesian analysis of the Heston (1993) stochastic volatility model. We carefully study the effect different parameterizations of the latent volatility process and the parameters of the volatility process have on the convergence and the mixing behavior of the...

This paper studies the properties of the Bayesian approach to estimation and comparison of dynamic equilibrium economies. Both tasks can be performed even if the models are nonnested, misspecified, and nonlinear. First, the authors show that Bayesian methods have a classical interpretation:...
