In this paper we discuss several aspects of simulation based Bayesian econometric inference. We start at an elementary … level on basic concepts of Bayesian analysis; evaluating integrals by simulation methods is a crucial ingredient in Bayesian … inference. Next, the most popular and well-known simulation techniques are discussed, the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm and …

We compare the performance of maximum likelihood (ML) and simulated method of moments (SMM) estimation for dynamic discrete choice models. We construct and estimate a simplified dynamic structural model of education that captures some basic features of educational choices in the United States in...

Respondents of contingent valuation surveys may place a null value on the public good, for reasons that differ from a genuine indifference to the good, but that can be interpreted as a "protest": either against the interview, or the public management, or both. A good survey design can...

In applied microeconometric panel data analyses, time-constant random effects and first-order Markov chains are the most prevalent structures to account for intertemporal correlations in limited dependent variable models. An example from health economics shows that the addition of a simple...

We conduct an extensive Monte Carlo experiment to examine the finite samples properties of maximum likelihood based inference in the bivariate probit model with endogenous dummy. We analyse the relative performance of alternative exogeneity tests, the impact of distributional misspecification...
