Recent work by Schennach (2005) has opened the way to a Bayesian treatment of quantile regression. Her method, called Bayesian exponentially tilted empirical likelihood (BETEL), provides a likelihood for data y subject only to a set of m moment conditions of the form Eg(y, ?) = 0 where ? is a k...

In this note we consider several versions of the bootstrap and argue that it is helpful in explaining and thinking about such procedures to use an explicit representation of the random resampling process. To illustrate the point we give such explicit representations and use them to produce some...

This paper is a study of the exact posterior distributions of parameters in a stationary optimal job search model. The author exploits the simple latent structure of the search model when all job offers are observed to stimulate posterior distributions of structural parameters when the latent...
