The conference will feature: - Papers on the latest research in the field; - Applications focused tracks including on Regulation, Agriculture, Education, Financial and Health Services; - Round table discussions aimed at early career researchers where former or current Editors of Journals in the...

The confluence of access to large granular data sources (‘Big Data’) and the rapid advance of modelling techniques like those from machine learning (ML) promises new insights into the economy and a larger information set for policymakers. The Bank of England (BoE) and the Data Analytics for...

Professor Wouter den Haan and Dr Pontus Rendahl will teach the course. It is primarily aimed at participants in the Euro Area Business Cycle Network but applications will also be considered from doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers and economists working in central banks and government...

We invite submissions from a range of topics covering - Large granular structured or unstructured data sources (administrative data, web data, from the “digital exhaust”, text data), - Machine Learning for prediction and understanding the economy, - Methods (matching, filtering or cleaning...

This stream covers papers on the theme of efficiency and productivity analysis and performance management. Both parametric and non-parametric papers will be considered. We especially welcome papers on the theory, methodology and application of Data Envelopment Analysis and econometric methods in...

The event is a combination of lectures on the theory and methods of policy analysis and design, practical problems in modelling and forecasting and computer-based exercises. The following topics are likely to be covered: - techniques for modelling unobserved economic components, state-space...

The following topics are likely to be covered: - basic optimisation techniques; - model microfoundations; - models of the business cycle, including models with financial frictions; - simple solution methods; - input data preparation and manipulation; - construction and estimation of small...

This two-week seminar aims to improve participants’ understanding of current modelling strategies and forecasting techniques. The following topics will be covered: - unit roots, cointegration and error-correction mechanisms; - techniques for modelling unobserved economic components,...

This one-week seminar will introduce central bankers to economic modelling techniques for monetary policy purposes by reviewing various modelling approaches: theoretical models of the dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) type and estimated time-series models, including (semi) structural...
