Estimating Spatial Econometrics Models with Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation
The integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) provides a fast and effective method for marginal inference in Bayesian hierarchical models. This methodology has been implemented in the R-INLA package which permits INLA to be used from within R ...

OpenClustered: an R package with a benchmark suite of clustered datasets for methodological evaluation and comparison [PDF]
Background Clustered data arise when observations are correlated within a group or sampling unit and frequently arise in epidemiology, social sciences, education, linguistics, econometrics, and medicine.

Since the advent of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods in the early 1990s, Bayesian methods have been proposed for a large and growing number of applications. One of the main advantages of Bayesian inference is the ability to deal with many different sources of uncertainty, including data, models, parameters and parameter restriction uncertainties,

EMPLOYMENT RATE AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: THE CASE OF TRANSITION COUNTRIES [PDF]
This paper investigates the effects of the employment rate on economic growth during the transition process. We start with the mainstream growth econometrics approach that controls for convergence and, in order to control for heterogeneity of ...

A Comparison between Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Approaches for Estimating the Parameters of Three Spatial Econometrics Models [PDF]
Sometimes, in econometrics problems the observations are not independent, so that their dependence is due to the location of observations in the studied space. To analyze these data are used the spatial regression models.

Bayesian Model Averaging with the Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation
The integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) for Bayesian inference is an efficient approach to estimate the posterior marginal distributions of the parameters and latent effects of Bayesian hierarchical models that can be expressed as latent ...

On the Rise of Bayesian Econometrics after Cowles Foundation Monographs 10, 14
This paper starts with a brief description of the introduction of the likelihood approach in econometrics as presented in Cowles Foundation Monographs 10 and 14. A sketch is given of the criticisms on this approach mainly from the first group of Bayesian
