This article considers a stable vector autoregressive (VAR) model and investigates return predictability in a Bayesian context. The VAR system comprises asset returns and the dividend-price ratio as proposed in Cochrane (2008), and allows pinning down the question of return predictability to the...

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...
