Research Workshops Econometrics and Statistics Colloquium
Faculty and invited speakers present current econometrics and statistics research, with particular emphasis on methods and applications relating to business and economic problems. Meetings are open to all interested faculty and MBA and PhD students.
The workshop will be held in-person (in HC 3B), with no virtual options. Please contact Megan Jennings-Quist to be added to the listserv for weekly updates.
When possible, links to the workshop papers are posted to this page for printing. Occasionally, speakers opt not to circulate their papers. Therefore, the link will be unavailable.
