The University of Queensland School of Economics held an ‘Advances in Empirical and Theoretical Econometrics' Workshop from 25 November to 26 November 2015.
The workshop brought together leading economic scholars, early career researchers and PhD Students who are interested in learning new methods and techniques in areas such as time-series analysis and statistical methods.
Below is the list of workshop presenters, which includes prominent academics from both Australian and international Universities. Here is a link to view their abstracts.
