Modeling house prices using multilevel structured additive regression
Brunauer, Wolfgang; Lang, Stefan; Umlauf, Nikolaus - 2010
This paper analyzes house price data belonging to three hierarchical levels of spatial units. House selling prices with associated individual attributes (the elementary level-1) are grouped within municipalities (level-2), which form districts (level-3), which are themselves nested in counties...

Estimating Healthcare Demand for an Aging Population : A Flexible and Robust Bayesian Joint Model
Mukherji, Arnab; Ghosh, Pulak; Roychowdhury, Satrajit - 2012
We propose a joint model to combine models for hospital visits and out-of-pocket medical expenditures. It allows for the presence of non-linear effects of covariates using splines to capture the effects of aging on healthcare demand. Sample heterogeneity is modeled robustly with the random...

Estimating Healthcare Demand for an Aging Population: A Flexible and Robust Bayesian Joint Model
Mukherji, Arnab; Roychowdhury, Satrajit; Ghosh, Pulak; … - Department of Economics, University of Sheffield - 2012
In this paper, we analyse two frequently used measures of the demand for health care, namely hospital visits and out-of-pocket health care expenditure, which have been analysed separately in the existing literature. Given that these two measures of healthcare demand are highly likely to be...

The quantity and quality of children : a semi-parametric Bayesian IV approach
Frühwirth-Schnatter, Sylvia; Halla, Martin; Posekany, … - 2014
Prior empirical research on the theoretically proposed interaction between the quantity and the quality of children builds on exogenous variation in family size due to twin births and focuses on human capital outcomes. The typical finding can be described as a statistically nonsignificant...
