Gary Koop – Bayesian Econometric Methods

Gary Koop – Bayesian Econometric Methods

This quantity within the Econometric Exercises collection accommodates questions and solutions to supply college students with helpful apply, as they try to grasp Bayesian econometrics. In addition to many theoretical workouts, this e book accommodates workouts designed to develop the computational instruments utilized in fashionable Bayesian econometrics. The latter half of the e book accommodates workouts that present how these theoretical and computational expertise are mixed in apply, to hold out Bayesian inference in all kinds of fashions generally utilized by econometricians. Aimed primarily at superior undergraduate and graduate college students learning econometrics, this e book may be helpful for college students learning finance, advertising, agricultural economics, enterprise economics or, extra typically, any subject which makes use of statistics. The e book additionally comes outfitted with a supporting web site containing all of the related knowledge units and MATLAB pc packages for fixing the computational workouts.

Review

“This is an excellent addition to a well conceived and motivated series. Written by three prolific and mature contributors to modern Bayesian econometrics, it is well organized, clear, concise, and comprehensive. Combined with its associated web site, which provides the related computer programs, it is complementary to currently available Bayesian econometrics texts and dramatically lowers the cost of learning and using modern Bayesian econometric methods.”
Pravin Okay. Trivedi, Indiana University

“Koop, Poirier and Tobias have constructed a set of exercises in Bayesian econometrics and exposited these and their solutions with the exceptional clarity and good sense that one associates with these authors. A number of these exercises are of interest in their own right and, taken together, they will all provide a valuable complement to the introductory texts in Bayesian econometrics that have recently appeared on the market.”
Anthony Lancaster, Brown University

“For the econometrician new to Bayesian methods, both the narrative and the exercises in this volume will expand conceptual horizons and establish new ways of thinking about econometrics. For the novice practitioner, the exercises provide an accessible bridge from theory to application. Experienced Bayesian practitioners will enjoy and benefit from testing their mettle on the wide selection of models treated in the book. Instructors at all levels will find material here that enhances classroom and computer laboratory experience.”
John Geweke, University of Iowa

“The book presents a concise and comprehensive narration of theory, computational techniques, and a range of applications related to Bayesian methods. Overall, this 350-page book covers a vast range of topics, presenting them in a clear and intuitive fashion that can help disseminate these techniques to a broad but technically savvy audience.”
