We use the Bayesian method introduced by Gallant and McCulloch (2009) to estimate consumption-based asset pricing models featuring smooth ambiguity preferences. We rely on semi-nonparametric estimation of a flexible auxiliary model in our structural estimation. Based on the market and aggregate...

When generating conditional forecasts in dynamic models it is common to impose the conditions as restrictions on future structural shocks. However, these conditional forecasts often ignore that there may be uncertainty about the future development of the restricted variables. Our paper therefore...

We consider dynamic games that can have state variables that are partially observed, serially correlated, endogenous, and heterogeneous. We propose a Bayesian method that uses a particle filter to compute an unbiased estimate of the likelihood within a Metropolis chain. Unbiasedness guarantees...
