Temporal Evolution of Contaminant Mass Discharge: Effect of Source Remediation at Contaminated Sites

open access: yesGroundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.
Abstract Contaminant mass discharge (CMD) is a key metric for evaluating remediation performance at contaminated sites posing a risk to groundwater. This study assesses temporal CMD trends and associated uncertainties using a geostatistical approach at a chlorinated solvent contaminated site following source zone remediation, supported by two decades ...

Fine‐scale patterns of genetic structure in three species of forest birds reveal dynamic Pleistocene history within an Amazonian interfluve

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Phylogeographical studies of Amazonian birds have revealed large intraspecific diversity, even within recognized areas of endemism. To understand the origin and organization of Amazonian diversity, including the influence of current and historical landscapes, we need to evaluate fine‐scale patterns of genetic diversity in relation to detailed ...

Linking eBird data with high spatiotemporal remote sensing products to estimate occupancy of bird populations across the island of Ireland

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
The vast increase in biodiversity data generated through citizen science initiatives, alongside a growing suite of remote sensing products and advanced modelling tools, has opened new avenues for rapidly, accurately and efficiently monitoring species trends to inform conservation, management and policy.

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

open access: yesInternational 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.

Markov Chain Monte Carlo

WiSt - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliches Studium, 2015
This chapter explains how to implement Bayesian analyses using the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm, a set of methods for Bayesian analysis made popular by the seminal paper of Gelfand and Smith (1990). It begins with an explanation of MCMC with a heuristic, high-level treatment of the algorithm, describing its operation in simple terms with a
