The jointness measure they propose equals the posterior odds ratio between those models that include a set of variables and the models that only include proper subsets. They show its application in cross-country growth regressions using two data-sets from the model-averaging growth literature UR - http://elibrary.worldbank.org/doi/book/10.1596/1813-9450-4063 ER -
