Econometrics Seminar

This seminar, co-organised with the Centre de recherche en économie et statistique (CREST) and the Paris School of Economics (PSE), features research on theoretical and applied econometrics. The invited speakers are econometricians, with a particular focus on applied econometricians interested in methods for policy evaluations.

Half of the talks are on zoom, the other half in person (1/3 in Sciences Po, 1/3 in PSE, 1/3 in CREST). On weeks where there is no seminar, a reading group on zoom is organised with faculty and students from the three institutions to discuss recent econometrics papers.

Mondays, from 4 to 5.30 pm 

Scientific contact: Clément de Chaisemartin (Sciences Po), Elia Lapenta (CREST), Philipp Ketz (PSE) and Martin Mugnier (PSE). 
Administrative correspondent at Sciences Po: Stéphanie Berrebi
