Workshop: Econometrics and Economic Policy Analysis

Statistics Norway (SSB), the Model Invariance and Constancy Project (UiO) and Centre for Applied and Theoretical Econometrics (CATE, BI) arrange a research workshop at the interface of econometrics and economic policy analysis. One aim of the workshop is to provide a friendly venue for researchers and others that develop, maintain and evaluate econometric models for the analysis and evaluation of economic policy decisions (past, future and counterfactual). A second aim is to enable works in progress, in which applied or theoretical econometrics plays an important part, to receive peer feedback.

This year's workshop is day 2 of Days at Statistics at SSB.
