      abstract = {In econometrics there is a long history of using  continuous functions to force
distributed lag coefficients  to behave in an economically accepted way. For
example,  geometrically declining lags have often been used to model  coefficients
that we believe should be declining.  Polynomial lags have been used to model lag
coefficients  expected to increase and then decrease. In this paper a  more flexible
way of imposing such prior information is  investigated. Inequality constraints are
used to impose  knowledge about the relative magnitudes of coefficients  without
forcing them to lie on a smooth continuous curve. A  Metropolis algorithm is used
to get posterior density  functions for the lag coefficients and functions of  those
coefficients for the Nerlove orange data and the  Almon capital expenditures data.},
