Professor Wouter den Haan and Dr Pontus Rendahl will teach the course. It is primarily aimed at participants in the Euro Area Business Cycle Network but applications will also be considered from doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers and economists working in central banks and government...

We welcome submissions from all fields of Bayesian econometrics (macro, micro and financial), as well as papers on statistical methodology, machine learning and computing. In addition, the Economics, Finance and Business (EFaB) section of the International Society of Bayesian Analysis (ISBA)...

The International Society for Bayesian Analysis (ISBA) was founded in 1992 to promote the development and application of Bayesian analysis.

The biennial OR Society Simulation Workshop brings together practitioners and academics working in the field of discrete-event simulation and related fields. It provides an opportunity to exchange ideas on the current and future state-of-the-art in simulation and modelling. Topics: - Simulation...

The topics covered are likely to include: - an overview of aspects of the data justifying an analysis of financial frictions; - different ways of deviating from the frictionless benchmark: - costly state verification - collateral constraints - costly enforcement; - models of financial...

The following topics are likely to be covered: - the econometric modelling and forecasting of inflation and growth; - formulating and using varieties of mechanical, statistical, semi-structural and structural forecasting models; - forecasting at different forecast horizons; - tools for forecast...

The seminar will be taught from the perspective of the practitioner with the aim of discussing techniques that can improve upon classical econometric methods, or are more convenient alternatives. The topics covered are likely to include: - introduction to Bayesian analysis and Gibbs sampling; -...

This event is an introduction to some of the techniques in Bayesian econometrics which can be useful for modelling and forecasting in central banks. It will provide an overview of the theory and then focus on practical implementation through computer-based exercises. The seminar will be taught...
