Bayesian Estimation of Dynamic Discrete Choice Models
Imai, Susumu; Jain, Neelam; Ching, Andrew T. - 2009
We propose a new methodology for structural estimation of infinite horizon dynamic discrete choice models. We combine the Dynamic Programming (DP) solution algorithm with the Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm into a single algorithm that solves the DP problem and estimates the...

Understanding the Impact of Microcredit Expansions : A Bayesian Hierarchical Analysis of 7 Randomised Experiments
Meager, Rachael - 2015
Bayesian hierarchical models serve as a standard methodology for aggregation and synthesis, used widely in statistics and other disciplines. I use this framework to aggregate the data from seven randomised experiments of expanding access to microcredit, assessing both the general impact of the...
