Space-varying regression models are generalizations of standard linear models where the regression coefficients are allowed to change in space. The spatial structure is specified by a multivariate extension of pairwise difference priors, thus enabling incorporation of neighboring structures and...

This paper is concerned with the study of Bayesian inference procedures to commonly used time series models. In particular, the dynamic or state-space models, the time-varying vector autoregressive model and the structural vector autoregressive model are considered in detail. Inference...

This paper describes the inference procedures required to perform Bayesian inference to some multivariate econometric models. These models have a spatial component built into commonly used multivariate models. In particular, the seemingly unrelated regression and vector autoregressive models are...

The work investigates the demographic, economic and social determinants of the degree of satisfaction of the Brazilian househols with their income. For that, a ordered logit model is estimated in order to explain the performance of a subjective indicator of income sufficiency built with basis on...
