Heterogenous agent models rely on good estimates of the distribution of individual income growth to model the consumption behaviour of households and its macroeconomic implications. I study the distribution of income growth among Canadian workers and find that it is characterized by large,...

This study proposes a Bayesian semiparametric binary response model using Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms since this Bayesian algorithm works when the maximum likelihood estimation fails. Implementing graphic processing unit computing improves the computation time because of its efficiency...
