Editorial introduction of the special issue of the studies in nonlinear dynamics and econometrics in honor of Herman van Dijk

The purpose of this Special Issue is to honor Herman van Dijk's career in Bayesian econometrics. Since his pioneering work on Monte Carlo integration first appeared in 1977, he has continued to write papers and present his work at conferences. It is highly likely that he will soon reach the 50-year milestone, marking half a century of producing Bayesian research at the highest level.
