IAAE 2017

International Association for Applied Econometrics
Sapporo - Japan
26th June 2017 - 29th June 2017

Following the success of the past three Annual Conference of the International Association for Applied Econometrics, our Fourth Annual Conference will be locally organized by Hokkaido University, and held at Hotel Emisia, Sapporo, Japan, on June 26-29, 2017.

The main aims of IAAE are to advance the education of the public in the subject of econometrics and its applications to a variety of fields in economics, in particular, but not exclusively, by advancing and supporting research in that field, and disseminating the results of such useful research to the public.

The IAAE conference brings together leading researchers in the field and is a major forum where all aspects of econometrics (theory and practice) are discussed and debated.
