OxMetrics 2012 - OxMetrics User Conference

11th OxMetrics User Conference will be held at The George Washington University on Thursday and Friday, March 15-16, 2012.
The OxMetrics User Conference provides a forum for the presentation and exchange of research results and practical experience within the fields of computational and financial econometrics, empirical economics, time-series and cross-section econometrics, and applied mathematics. The conference program will feature keynote presentations, contributed paper sessions, poster sessions, and a panel discussion with the OxMetrics developers. We expect all OxMetrics developers (Jurgen A. Doornik, Andrew Harvey, Siem Jan Koopman, and Sébastien Laurent) to be present as keynote speakers. Other keynote speakers will be announced soon. The conference is open to all those interested, and not just to OxMetrics users.
Submissions. Please submit an abstract and full paper by email to both Neil R. Ericsson (ericsson-AT-frb.gov) and Frederick L. Joutz (bmark-AT-gwu.edu) on or before Friday December 9, 2011. The abstract should be no more than 200 words and the paper should be in PDF format. Decisions on submissions will be made by December 24, 2011. The conference program will be finalized in early 2012.
Registration, conference fee and accommodation. The logistics of the conference are organized by Timberlake Consultants, the publishers of OxMetrics software. A conference registration fee will be applicable to all non-presenting delegates and will include conference materials, refreshments, lunches, and the conference dinner on Thursday March 15, 2012. The registration fee is $140 (on or before February 19, 2012), $160 (after February 19, 2012), and $55 (full-time students). The conference fee is waived for presenters (only one fee waiver per presentation, regardless of the number of authors involved). The registration fee for students does not include the conference dinner, although students may attend the conference dinner for a supplementary charge. Information on local accommodation will be available on the conference website in early 2012.
