7^th ANNUAL EUROPEAN SEMINAR ON BAYESIAN ECONOMETRICS
*ESOBE 2016*
*
*Venice, Italy
27 - 28 October 2016
The workshop is organised by the *Department of Economics of the
University Ca’ Foscari of Venice *(Venice, Italy), and is co-sponsored
by the *European Central Bank *(Frankfurt) and *GRETA Associati
*(Venice, Italy). The ESOBE meetings aim at bringing together
researchers and professionals interested in the application of Bayesian
inference. Ever since the pioneering work of Arnold Zellner, Bayesian
econometrics has expanded enormously in areas such as economics,
finance, business, and marketing. Empirical applications of Bayesian
econometrics deal with issues such as financial time series analysis,
risk management, economic growth analysis, measurement of policy
effectiveness, individual decision making in marketing, labour market
analysis, forecasting in monetary policy, just to name a few.
The computational revolution in simulation techniques is a key
ingredient in this expansion and allows the application of Bayesian
methods to increasingly complex models and high-dimensional data
environments. The ESOBE meetings are intended as a discussion forum for
new and recent research methods that are capable to face these
challenges. These techniques include, among others, semi-parametric
modelling based on mixtures, shrinkage estimators, and variable
selection methods.
The organizers encourage submissions of papers on any topic within the
overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular:
·Bayesian financial econometrics
·Bayesian microeconometrics and program evaluation
·Bayesian nonparametric and semi-parametric methods based on countably
infinite mixtures
·Shrinkage estimation and variable selection in high-dimensional data
environments
·Computational methods for large datasets
·Efficient MCMC and SMC methods for complex models
The keynote speakers of ESOBE 2016 are:
**
*Christian P. Robert*(University Paris Dauphine and University of Warwick)
*Thomas J. Sargent*(New York University)
The Scientific Committee for the Conference consists of:
*Monica Billio *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice)
