Rezensionen

'This volume invigorates the understanding and application of Bayesian econometrics with a uniquely constructive, hands-on approach. By moving seamlessly between theory, methods, and applications, it builds understanding and skills that will serve the novice Bayesian econometrician well, and synthesizes the subject for experienced Bayesian practitioners.' John Geweke, Charles R. Nelson Endowed Professor in Economics, University of Washington
