This study aims to accomplish three main tasks. Firstly, it seeks to determine the more appropriate choice between classical and Bayesian methods in estimating a pooled panel kink regression model under the condition of a known but bounded policy variable choice that serves as a kink point....

Regression analyses of cross-country economic growth data are complicated by two main forms of model uncertainty: the uncertainty in selecting explanatory variables and the uncertainty in specifying the functional form of the regression function. Most discussions in the literature address these...

This paper examines the robustness of explanatory variables in cross-country economic growth regressions. It employs a novel approach, Bayesian Averaging of Classical Estimates ¤ (BACE), which constructs estimates as a weighted average of OLS estimates for every possible combination of included...
