    Conference Objectives

    This conference will (i) study and explore IT solutions for linear estimation and inference problems, (ii) facilitate the exchange of research ideas in the field, (iii) promote collaboration among researchers from different disciplines, and (iv) highlight the major trends in Information and Entropy Econometrics.

    In particular, this Conference will concentrate on the most recent (theoretical and applied) research in linear Bayesian and non- Bayesian, IT and entropic procedures with emphasis on modeling and measuring information. In addition, the conference will deal with the interpretations and meaning of the solutions to IT estimation and inference (e.g., statistical meaning, complexity and efficiency as well as informational meaning). Both theory and innovative applied papers will be included.

    Conference Topics

    Conference topics include theory and methods and applications in various fields.

    Theory and methods topics include:
    • Measuring information
    • Interpretation and meaning of IT solutions to estimation and inference
      •
    • Information in moment based estimation
    • Bayesian analysis and IT
    • Linear IT and Entropic procedures
    • Optimal information processing
