Opis

This book offers an up-to-date coverage of the basic principles and tools of Bayesian inference in econometrics, with an emphasis on dynamic models. It shows how to treat Bayesian inference in non linear models, by integrating the useful developments of numerical integration techniques based on simulations, and the long available analytical results of Bayesian inference for linear regression models.
About the Series
Advanced Texts in Econometrics is a distinguished and rapidly expanding series in which leading econometricians assess recent developments in such areas as stochastic probability, panel and time series data analysis, modeling, and cointegration. In both hardback and affordable paperback, each volume explains the nature and applicability of a topic in greater depth than possible in introductory textbooks or single journal articles. Each definitive work is formatted to be as accessible and convenient for those who are not familiar with the detailed primary literature.

Recenzje

presents a comprehensive review of dynamic econometric models from a Bayesian perspective ... four insightful introductory chapters ... provide a valuable synthesis of current ideas and their application to parameter estimation.
