A Bayesian Semiparametric Competing Risk Model with Unobserved Heterogeneity
This paper generalizes existing econometric models for censored competing risks by introducing a new flexible specification based on a piecewise linear baseline hazard, time-varying regressors, and unobserved individual heterogeneity distributed as an infinite mixture of Generalized Inverse Gaussian (GIG) densities, nesting the gamma kernel as a special case. A common correlated latent time eff...
متن کاملSemiparametric Bayesian Inference for Dynamic Tobit Panel Data Models with Unobserved Heterogeneity
This paper develops semiparametric Bayesian methods for inference of dynamic Tobit panel data models. Our approach only requires to specify the conditional mean dependence of the unobserved heterogeneity on the initial conditions and the strictly exogenous variables; no further distributional assumption on the unobserved heterogeneity is needed. Important quantities of economic interest such as...
متن کاملExplaining Heterogeneity in Risk Preferences Using a Finite Mixture Model
This paper studies the effect of the space (distance) between lotteries' outcomes on risk-taking behavior and the shape of estimated utility and probability weighting functions. Previously investigated experimental data shows a significant space effect in the gain domain. As compared to low spaced lotteries, high spaced lotteries are associated with higher risk aversion for high probabilities o...
متن کاملA Bayesian semiparametric model for volatility with a leverage effect
A Bayesian semiparametric stochastic volatility model for financial data is developed. This estimates the return distribution from the data allowing for stylized facts such as heavy tails and jumps in prices whilst also allowing for correlation between the returns and changes in volatility, the leverage effect. An efficient MCMC algorithm for inference is described. The model is applied to simu...
متن کاملA Semiparametric Model for Bayesian Reader Identification
We study the problem of identifying individuals based on their characteristic gaze patterns during reading of arbitrary text. The motivation for this problem is an unobtrusive biometric setting in which a user is observed during access to a document, but no specific challenge protocol requiring the user’s time and attention is carried out. Existing models of individual differences in gaze contr...
