[Forum SIS] Annual ESOBE 2016 meeting, 27/28 October, Ca' Foscari University, Venice, Italy

[Roberto Casarin VE]

7th ANNUAL EUROPEAN SEMINAR ON BAYESIAN ECONOMETRICS

ESOBE 2016

Venice, Italy
27 - 28 October 2016

The workshop is organised by the Department of Economics of the 
*University Ca’ Foscari of Venice*, and is co-sponsored by the *European 
Central Bank*, the *Central Bank of Italy*, the *International 
Association for Applied Econometrics* and *GRETA Associati*.

The ESOBE meetings aim at bringing together researchers and 
professionals interested in the application of Bayesian inference. Ever 
since the pioneering work of Arnold Zellner, Bayesian econometrics has 
expanded enormously in areas such as economics, finance, business, and 
marketing. The computational revolution in simulation techniques is a 
key ingredient in this expansion and allows the application of Bayesian 
methods to increasingly complex models and high-dimensional data 
environments. The ESOBE 2016 conference intends to discuss about 
research and application in the following *areas*:
  - Bayesian financial econometrics
  - Bayesian microeconometrics and program evaluation
  - Bayesian nonparametric
  - Shrinkage estimation and variable selection in high dimensions
  - Computational methods for large datasets
  - Efficient MCMC and SMC methods for complex models

  The *keynote speakers *of ESOBE 2016 are:
  - Christian P. Robert (University Paris Dauphine and University of 
Warwick)
  - Ulrich K. Mueller (Princeton University)
  - Thomas J. Sargent (New York University)

   The *Scientific Committee* consists of:
  - Monica Billio (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice)
  - Fabio Canova (BI Norwegian Business School)
  - Roberto Casarin (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice)
  - Sylvia Fruehwirth-Schnatter (Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien)
  - Sylvia Kaufmann (Study Center Gerzensee)
  - Gary Koop (Strathclyde Business School)
  - Francesco Ravazzolo (Free University of Bozen/Bolzano)
  - Herman K. van Dijk (Erasmus University Rotterdam and VU University 
Amsterdam)
