Date Issued:

Summary:
This thesis presents the theory and an application of Bayesian econometrics. The classical theory of econometrics is also presented for a comparison study. In the Bayesian case the theory of the prior information, which is the distinguishing characteristic of the Bayesian approach, is presented by considering the cases of informative and non-informative priors. The classical and Bayesian approach represent the two fundamental, although opposite in the concept of probability, schools of thought in statistics and econometrics. An application to the estimation of standard macroeconomic equations is also included where both classical and Bayesian techniques are employed.
