AMASES 2019http://amases2019.unipg.it/ amases2019.unipg.it 43 rd Annual Meeting of the AMASES Association for Mathematics Applied to Social and Economic Sciences Perugia, September 9-11, 2019. The meeting is organized both by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science and the Department of Economics of the University of Perugia. As in the AMASES established tradition, the purpose of the meeting is to stimulate discussion among scholars and ...
Topic of the session
Far more than in the past, policy makers, investors, and data scientists are required to take decisions based on sparse and noisy data. Observations from heterogeneous sources, typically sampled at different frequencies, and contaminated by noise, need to be aggregated and analyzed jointly. This is customary in several economic applications, including macroeconomics, high-frequency finance, climate economics, and data science. Traditional mathematical and statistical methods can lead to misleading conclusions when these features are not properly accounted for. The objective of this session is to present the latest methodologies and to foster discussions among researchers from different fields.
Theoretical and empirical papers are welcome. Topics include but are not limited to:
- high-frequency time series modelling
- mixed-frequency data modelling in economic and social sciences
- dimensionality reduction and factor analysis
- sparse data modelling
- noisy data filtering and smoothing
It is a great pleasure to invite you to submit an extended abstract. To be considered for the stream, please submit your abstract by specifying the stream code (MSND) in the file name (MSND-[surname of author who will present the paper].pdf).
