Estimating the demand for health care with panel data: a semiparametric Bayesian approach.
This paper is concerned with the problem of estimating the demand for health care with panel data. A random effects model is specified within a semiparametric Bayesian approach using a Dirichlet process prior. This results in a very flexible distribution for both the random effects and the count variable. In particular, the model can be seen as a mixture distribution with a random number of com...
متن کاملEstimating the Elasticity of Electricity Demand in Iran: A Sectoral-Province Approach
E nergy is one of the main and essential factors in economic growth. Electricity as one of the most important resources of energy supply for economic sectors on one hand, and as an index of welfare, on the other hand, is one of the economic development benchmarks. The growth of GDP will increase the demand for energy resources, including electricity. Hence, policymakers should pay at...
متن کاملA Unied Approach to Estimating Demand and Welfare⇤
The measurement of price changes, economic welfare, and demand parameters is currently based on three disjoint approaches: macroeconomic models derived from time-invariant utility functions, microeconomic estimation based on time-varying utility (demand) systems, and actual price and real output data constructed using formulas that di�er from either approach. The inconsistencies are so deep tha...
متن کاملForecasting Demand for Fashion Goods: A Hierarchical Bayesian Approach
A central feature of demand for products in the fashion apparel segment is a pronounced product life cycle— demand for a fashion product tends to rise and fall dramatically in accordance with the rate of public of adoption. Product demands that vary in such a manner can be difficult to forecast, especially in the critical early period of a product’s life, when observed demand can be a very unre...
متن کاملPeak demand forecasting for a seasonal product using Bayesian approach
An actual demand-forecasting problem of the US apparel dealers is studied. Demand is highly fluctuating during the peak sale season and low prior to the peak season. The model is described by the continuous time stochastic process applying the Bayesian process. The standard gamma distribution is selected for the demand process and an inverse gamma distribution is chosen as the conjugate prior f...
