Calibrating Bayesian inference

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bayesian statistics has gained popularity in psychological research due to its intuitive uncertainty quantification and convenient information‐updating rules. In many applications, however, prior distributions are introduced merely as instruments to facilitate computation, rather than as representations of genuine subjective belief ...

Measuring Thematic Funds Performance via an Approach Based on Observable and Latent Factors

European Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether thematic equity funds deliver abnormal performance relative to conventional global equity funds. Using Fama‐French models augmented with latent factors, we estimate fund‐level alphas, and apply the false discovery rate methodology to an estimated three‐group mixture distribution, separating good, null and bad ...

Rapid Intrasegmental Progression After Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Incidence, Imaging Features, and Clinical Outcomes

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is curative therapy for early‐stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but a rare subset of patients develop aggressive intrasegmental recurrence shortly after complete ablation. We characterized the incidence, risk factors, and absolute risk.

When in Doubt, Tax More Progressively? Uncertainty and Progressive Income Taxation

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study the optimal income tax problem under parameter uncertainty about household preferences and wage dynamics. We derive conditions characterizing how such uncertainty affects optimal tax policy. To quantify the effect, we estimate a life‐cycle model using US data and a Bayesian approach.

Towards more reliable gambling cost estimates, a population-based study with register-linkage

The Distributional Effects of Economic Uncertainty*

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study the distributional implications of uncertainty shocks by developing a model that links macroeconomic aggregates to the US distribution of earnings and consumption. Our findings suggest that the fraction of low‐earning workers decreases initially, while the share of households reporting low consumption increases.
