This special issue of the Journal of Econometrics contains a selection of papers presented at a conference held in Marseilles in June 2001. The purpose of the meeting was to bring together econometricians and statisticians interested in Bayesian methods and applications, so that every participant could exchange information on his/her expertise with respect to the evolutions of this field of research. The eight papers of this volume only partially reflect this purpose since many more papers were presented during the conference than those that were accepted for publication after a rigorous reviewing process.
