| Abstract: | In this paper, multisample analyses of exactand stochastic constraints with identified structural equation models are investigated using a Bayesian approach. Asymptotic properties of the estimates are developed and a multiplier method is employed to obtain the solution. A numerical example is also included as an illustration. |
