Bayesian Analysis of the Prototypal Search Model
典型求职搜寻模型的贝叶斯分析
Bayesian analysis for a simple but widely applied dynamic programming model is obtained. The setting is the prototypal job-search model. The general case of wage and duration data, with potential censoring, is studied. The optimality condition implied by the dynamic programming setup is fully imposed.
