On the Predictive Distributions of Outcome Gains in the Presence of an Unidentified Parameter
In this article we describe methods for obtaining the predictive distributions of outcome gains in the framework of a standard latent variable selection model. Although most previous work has focused on estimation of mean treatment parameters as the method for characterizing outcome gains from program participation, we show how the entire distributions associated with these gains can be obtained in certain situations. Although the out-of-sample o…
Bayesian analysis of an econometric model of birth inputs and outputs
A Return to the Battlefront
This study updates previous work by the author providing quantitative evidence of the professional impact of the Bayesian viewpoint as measured by the percentage of pages devoted to Bayesian articles in leading statistics and econometrics journals over the period 1982–1991
A Bayesian View of Nominal Money and Real Output Through a New Classical Macroeconomic Window
This study investigates the empirical evidence on the effects of unanticipated changes in nominal money on real output in 47 countries when viewed through a window (i.e., likelihood function) that assumes the neutrality of anticipated changes. Using a Bayesian predictivist approach, it provides a pedagogical Bayesian analysis of generated regressor models in the face of specification uncertainty involving, among other things, multiple unit roots …

The Subjectivist Response
[This paper responds to comments on “Frequentist and Subjectivist Perspectives on the Problems of Model Building in Economics,” by Dale J. Poirier.] It is a rare opportunity to have one's research discussed in print by as eminent and contemplative a group of researchers as my three discussants. To each I wish to express my gratitude for his thought-provoking comments. I will address the discussants' comments in an order which I believe reflects a…
Frequentist and Subjectivist Perspectives on the Problems of Model Building in Economics
I plan to discuss, in as simple and nontechnical a fashion as possible, the subjectivist-Bayesian attitude toward model building in econometrics and to contrast it with the standard frequentist attitude. To convey what I believe is the principle distinguishing attitude between Bayesians and non-Bayesians, I refer to their respective positions as "subjectivist" and "frequentist." The basic differences between these positions arise from different i…
A Diagnostic Test for Normality Within the Power Exponential Family
This article develops the locally uniformly most powerful unbiased Lagrange multiplier test of normality of regression disturbances within the family of power exponential distributions. The small sample power properties of the test are compared in a Monte Carlo study with 6 well-known tests across 12 alternative nonnormal distributions. In addition, the finite sample power properties for nonnormal alternatives within the power exponential family …
