The workshop will take place right after the Annual Meeting of the American Social Sciences Associations, which includes the Annual Meeting of the American Economic Association (AEA). The workshop will consist of mini-courses covering research transparency in empirical research and macro models...

The workshop is intended for Southern African econometricians already familiar with Bayesian concepts, looking to expand their utilisation of Bayes within their own economic research, and incorporate cutting edge Bayesian technologies. The first day of the workshop will include a practical...

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 increased availability of large disaggregated datasets opens up the possibility to analyse economic and financial issues from a different perspective. The build-up of financial imbalances and excessive risk-taking before the financial crisis, and the effects of the crash, call for the...

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 workshop aims to provide a strong offering in latest results on methods and practices for producing business, economic and organisational statistics. The workshop gives the opportunity for official statistics methodologists, academic researchers and practitioners from the business sphere to...

This course will introduce the main methods of microsimulation, with an emphasis on the practical development of policy applications. The course will explore basic techniques in static microsimulation for use in the distributional analysis across representative samples of economic agents – for...

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; -...

The Centre welcomes submissions for the contributed sessions. While the workshop is intended for theoretical work or applied work with methodological contribution in Bayesian Econometrics, any Bayesian paper with an econometric focus will be considered. Quality papers in all areas in relation to...

This workshop will provide an opportunity to review, discuss and explore directions of development of Bayesian Inference in Stochastic Processes and in the use of Stochastic Processes for Bayesian Inference. The Workshop will encourage discussion and promote further research in these fields....
