Modelling spatial heterogeneity in the effects of area-level covariates on income distributions using Bayesian nonparametric methods
用贝叶斯非参数方法建模区域协变量与收入分布关系的空间异质性
Understanding the how the distribution of an economic outcome, such as income, changes with respect to space and covariates is a key concern for policy makers. To address this, we develop a Bayesian nonparametric model, the Normalised Latent Measure Factor Model with Covariates (NLMFM-C), which expresses a large collection of related densities as mixtures of latent factor densities and allows for spatial and covariate effects. We propose an adaptive Gibbs sampler to…
