Dependent data structures;
Hypothesis testing and model selection;
Nonparametric modeling;
Statistical Learning;
high-dimensional econometrics;
large panels.
In order to be considered for publication, a submission must have a
significant novel component in either high-dimensional or functional data
analysis with emphasis on methodological, computational or theoretical
aspects or novel analysis of important new data sets.
Authors who are uncertain about the suitability of their paper should
contact the editors.
Submissions will be refereed according to standard procedures for
Econometrics and Statistics. Information about the journal can be found at
http://www.elsevier.com/locate/ecosta.
*The deadline for submissions is 30 December 2025*. However, papers can be
submitted at any time and once they are received, they will enter the
editorial system immediately.

Dear all,
The Department of Economics and Finance at Luiss University in Rome
(*https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it
<https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/>*) is pleased to announce the following
seminar:
*Speaker*: Victor M. Panaretos, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne
(EPFL)
*Title*: *Distributional Regression and Autoregression via Mass
Transportation*
*When*: February 6th, 14:30
*Where*: Viale Romania, 32 00197 Rome
*Meeting room*: 405
*Abstract*: We present a framework for performing regression when both
covariate and response are probability distributions. Our framework is
based on the theory of mass transportation and links the conditional
Fréchet mean of the response to the covariate via an optimal transport map.
In the simplest context of distributions on the real line, we show how one
can define and compute a Fréchet least squares estimator of the regression
map, which attains the minimax convergence rate under minimal assumptions.
We also discuss possible extensions to higher dimensional laws and to
autoregressive settings, and how these seem to require additional
smoothness conditions for consistent estimation. Based on joint work with
Laya Ghodrati.

Mercoledì *5 febbraio *alle ore *14.30, *Simone Baldassarri (Mathematical
Institute Leiden University) terrà il seminario dal titolo “*Opinion
dynamics on dense dynamic random graphs*”.
Abstract:
Describing the evolution of dynamic networks together with dynamic
processes running on them constitutes a major challenge in network science.
Despite considerable efforts in past years, and notable progress on an
intuitive and approximative level, our mathematical understanding of such
systems is still in its infancy. The focus of this talk will be two-opinion
voter models on dense dynamic random graphs. The goal is to understand and
describe the occurrence of consensus versus polarisation over long periods
of time. The former means that all vertices have the same opinion, the
latter means that the vertices split into two communities with different
opinions and few disagreeing edges. We consider three models for the joint
dynamics of opinions and graphs: one with one-way feedback and two with
two-way feedback. In the first model only coexistence is attainable,
meaning that both opinions survive, but with the presence of many
disagreeing edges. In the second model only consensus prevails, while in
the third model polarisation is possible. Key results cover functional laws
of large numbers for the densities of the two opinions, functional laws of
large numbers for the dynamic random graphs in the space of graphons, and a
characterisation of the limiting densities in terms of Beta-distributions.
Il seminario avrà luogo in presenza presso il Dipartimento di Matematica e

We are pleased to inform you that the next Applied Bayesian Statistics
summer school - ABS25 will be held from 3 to 6 June 2025 in the
beautiful historic city of Genova, overlooking the Ligurian Sea in Italy.
The school is organized by CNR IMATI (Institute of Applied Mathematics
and Information Technologies at the Italian National Research Council in
Milano), in cooperation with the Department of Mathematics of the
University of Genova.
The topic will be SPATIO-TEMPORAL METHODS IN ENVIRONMENTAL EPIDEMIOLOGY
The lecturer will be Prof. ALEXANDRA SCHMIDT (McGill University,
Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health,
Canada), with the support of Dr. CARLO ZACCARDI (University G.
d'Annunzio Chieti-Pescara, Department of Economics, Italy).
If interested, you can register on the school website:
https://abs25.imati.cnr.it/
REGISTRATION is now open, but payments will be possible (by credit card
and, possibly, by bank transfer) starting from about mid-February 2025.
If you are interested in the school but unwilling to register for the
moment, please send an email to abs25(a)mi.imati.cnr.it and we will send
you updates and reminders.
As in the past (since 2004), there will be a combination of theoretical
and practical sessions, along with presentations by participants about
their work (past, current and future) related to the topic of the school.
OUTLINE: This course aims to explore the interface between environmental
epidemiology (EE) and spatio-temporal modelling (ST). The aim of EE is
to understand the adverse health effects of environmental hazards and to
estimate the risks associated with those hazards. Such risks have
traditionally been assessed either over time at a fixed point in space
or over space at a fixed point in time. ST modelling characterizes the
distribution of those hazards and associated risks over both
geographical locations and time. Understanding variation and exploiting
dependencies over both space and time greatly increases the power to
assess those relationships.
The course will cover a wide range of topics from an introduction to
spatio-temporal and epidemiological principles along with the
foundations of ST modeling, with specific focus on their application, to
new directions for research.
Topics to be covered: - Types of epidemiological studies: cohort,
case–control, ecological. - Measures of risk: relative risks, odds
ratios, absolute risk, sources of bias, assessing uncertainty. -
Bayesian statistics and computational techniques: Markov Chain Monte
Carlo (MCMC). - Regression models in epidemiology: Logistic and Poisson
generalized linear models, hierarchical models. - Dynamic linear models,
temporal autocorrelation. - Spatial models: area and point referenced
methods, mapping, geostatistical methods, spatial regression. -
Spatial-temporal models: separable models, non-separable models,
modelling exposures in space and time.

you in Genova.
We invite you also to share the information with people potentially
interested.
