Abstract

The computational revolution in simulation techniques has shown to become a key ingredient in the field of Bayesian econometrics and opened new possibilities to study complex economic and financial phenomena. Applications include risk measurement, forecasting, assessment of policy effectiveness in macro, finance, marketing and monetary economics.

Highlights

  • This special issue aims to contribute to this literature by collecting a set of carefully evaluated papers that are grouped amongst two topics in financial economics: the first three papers refer to macro-finance issues for the real economy; the last three papers focus on cryptocurrency and stock market predictability

Summary

Introduction

This special issue aims to contribute to this literature by collecting a set of carefully evaluated papers that are grouped amongst two topics in financial economics: the first three papers refer to macro-finance issues for the real economy; the last three papers focus on cryptocurrency and stock market predictability. The first paper, written by Nguyen Ngoc Thach, studies the elasticity of factor substitution (ES) in the Cobb–Douglas production function (see Thach 2020).
