Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) is a common econometric tool to assess the uncertainty regarding model specification and parameter inference and is widely applied in fields where no strong theoretical guidelines are present. Its major advantage over single-equation models is the combination of evidence from a large number of specifications. The three papers included in this thesis all investigate model structures in the BMA model space. The first contribution evaluates how priors can be chosen to enforce model structures in the presence of interactions terms and multicollinearity. This is linked to a discussion in the Journal of Applied Econometrics regarding the question whether being a Sub-Saharan African country makes a difference for growth modelling. The second essay is concerned with clusters of different models in the model space. We apply Latent Class Analysis to the set of sampled models from BMA and identify different subsets (kinds of) models for two well-known growth data sets. The last paper focuses on the application of "jointness", which tries to find bivariate relationships between regressors in BMA. Accordingly this approach attempts to identify substitutes and complements by linking the econometric discussion on this subject to the field of Machine Learning.(author's abstract)

Tesis (magíster en derecho penal) / El presente trabajo apunta al análisis del requisito o elemento normativo del tipo “teniendo a su cargo” utilizado por el legislador en la primera parte del artículo 233 del Código Penal chileno, a propósito del delito de Malversación de Caudales Públicos o, también llamado, peculado, regulado en el párrafo 5, Título V del Libro II, del Cuerpo Legal citado. Con este objeto y a fin de esclarecer adecuadamente los contornos de la alocución referida, en primer término desarrollaré, brevemente, los principales elementos de esta figura típica, especialmente lo relativo al sujeto activo, al sujeto pasivo, al objeto material, a la conducta, al bien jurídico protegido y a algunos conceptos básicos. A continuación, me avocaré a la calificación de elemento normativo del tipo que recibe la frase que me ocupa, exponiendo además algunos problemas que se pueden presentar desde la perspectiva de la autoría y participación y del iter criminis. Posteriormente revisaré algunos aspectos relativos a las calidades y al vínculo que debe existir entre el sujeto activo del delito y los caudales o efectos que éste tiene a su cargo, haciendo referencia a opiniones nacionales y extranjeras que pretenden explicarlo, para luego abordar la variada doctrina y jurisprudencia nacionales sobre el tema principal, y por último compartir algunas conclusiones y reflexiones que se deriven de todo lo expuesto precedentemente.

In the last 20 years spatial econometric models, methods and techniques have been applied to a great variety of empirical problems. The essence of a spatial econometric model is the incorporation of a spatial autoregressive lag, which is scaled by the so called spatial autocorrelation parameter. From a mathematical perspective introducing a spatial autoregressive term into the linear regression model yields a system of equations, which may or may not be solvable for the dependent variable. Furthermore even if the system of equations is solvable, the dependent variable may be diverging if the number of observations approaches infinity. One can show that the solvability and boundedness of the dependent variable in spatial autoregessive models are crucially dependent on the (pre-) specified parameter space of the spatial autocorrelation parameter. Since almost all theoretical work in spatial econometrics assumes both model properties, the validity of spatial econometric methods and techniques is also crucially dependent on the (pre-) specified parameter space.
