Robust Dynamic Space-Time Panel Data Models Using?-Contamination : an Application to Crop Yields and Climate Change

Baltagi, Badi H.; Bresson, Georges; Chaturvedi, Anoop; … - 2023

This paper extends the Baltagi et al. (2018, 2021) static and dynamic ?-contamination papers to dynamic space-time models. We investigate the robustness of Bayesian panel data models to possible misspecification of the prior distribution. The proposed robust Bayesian approach departs from the...
