TABLE 1 - Parameter Characteristics

As I said above parameter distributions are nor very interesting per sè, perhaps
with the exception of the one relative to technical change. In Fig. B technical change
marginal densities in South are plotted using a diffuse or a proper prior with (solid line)
and without (dotted) concavity and monotonicity.
