The past ten years has seen an explosion of interest in large and heterogeneous datasets and the statistical and computational techniques needed to handle them. Most of the innovation in this area has come in statistics and computer science departments, but recently economists have also begun to...

This biennial conference provides a forum for new theoretical and applied work on forecasting. Topics: - big data, unstructured data, high frequency data - forecasting inflation, exchange rates; finance and forecasting - forecasting in the presence of structural breaks - forecasting with dynamic...

Theme: Empirical and Theoretical Research on Panel Data.

Computational economics explores the intersection of economics and computation. These areas include agent-based computational modeling, computational econometrics and statistics, computational finance, computational modeling of dynamic macroeconomic systems, computational tools for the design of...

This summer school invites leading researchers that use big data and machine learning methods in macroeconomics and finance and has two main aims. First, to teach participants state of the art methods in big data analysis and machine learning and, second, to present how these methods can be...

The conference provides researchers who use the SOEP with the opportunity to present and discuss their work with other researchers familiar with SOEP data. Researchers of all disciplines (e.g. economics, demography, geography, political science, public health, psychology and sociology) who use...

The GESIS Summer School is made for you if you are an advanced graduate or PhD student, a post-doc, junior researcher, or survey professional from any relevant field, who: - is interested in improving their general knowledge and skills in survey methodology; - is planning to run an own survey or...

The biennial conference is the meeting place for top scientists from all over the world and successfully integrates the theoretical aspects as well as the perspectives of those who are primarily engaged in applying survey data. Topics: I. Short-term Economic Surveys and Indicators. II. Surveys...

Eight intensive, one-week courses will be offered during the period from August to September 2018. All courses will be highly interactive, method-, and application-oriented. They will be delivered by outstanding instructors from RWTH Aachen University and other prestigious international...

The conference will focus on the role of microdata for macroeconomics. Microdata for the purposes of EM3C is broadly defined and includes (but is not limited to) survey data, administrative data, experimental data, expectations data, etc. Work with new, previously unexplored microdata is...
