Workshop "Recent Advances in Econometrics"

June 02, 2023

09:00 - 18:00

CORE - Room B-135

The workshop gathers internationally renowned econometricians to promote and inspire research in econometrics and adjacent fields at UCLouvain. The topics cover econometric and statistical theory and methodology with a wide range of applications in economics and finance.

Research in econometrics at UCLouvain has suffered in previous years, not the least due to the Covid crisis. The emergence of data science as a new discipline inspires us to rethink and perhaps redefine the position of econometrics and econometricians in teaching and research.

The main part of the program includes twelve scientific presentations of invited speakers. The workshop is open to everyone, but registration is mandatory.

If you want to register to this event please send a mail to severine.devisscher@uclouvain.be before 25 May 2023
