תקציר	Bayesian OLS combines the classical linear regression likelihood with prior distributions over the coefficients and error variance. Rather than reporting point estimates, it produces full posterior distributions that quantify both estimated effects and their uncertainty. The approach is especially valuable when prior knowledge is available or when samples are small.	The Bayesian Vector Autoregression (BVAR) model extends the classical VAR framework by incorporating prior beliefs about the model coefficients. Priors — most commonly the Minnesota prior — shrink VAR coefficients toward economically sensible values, dramatically reducing overfitting and improving out-of-sample forecast accuracy even when the number of variables is large.
