Bayesian econometrics
Bayesian econometrics is a branch of econometrics which applies Bayesian principles to economic modelling.
The Bayesian principle is based on Bayes Theorem which states that the probability of B conditional on A is the ratio of joint probability of A and B divided by probability of B. Bayesian econometricians assume that coefficients in the model have prior distributions.
This approach was first propagated by Arnold Zellner.
