Third Annual Berkeley-Stanford Econometrics Jamboree
On Friday November 8th, 2019 the Berkeley econometrics group, in partnership with the Statistics Department, will host the third annual “Berkeley-Stanford Econometrics Jamboree”. The event will consist of a morning session of student presentations (9AM to 11:30AM) and an afternoon session of faculty presentations (2PM to 6PM). Both sessions will take place in the legendary Neyman room (1011 Evans Hall).
Attendence is open to anyone from the Berkeley and Stanford data science communities (broadly and inclusively defined) and there is no need to register. The event is intentionally informal. Please feel free to share these event details with others who may be interested.
A conference program can be found below. Please contact Bryan Graham with any corrections or possible scheduling conflicts. We’ve got a great group of speakers scheduled.
For our attendees coming from Stanford, Evans Hall is very close to the North Gate of our campus. The nearest BART stop is Downtown Berkeley. The nearest public parking facility is the Lower Hearst / North Gate parking garage at the intersection of Scenic & Hearst (enter from Scenic to access hourly parking spaces).
If you have any logistical questions please write Fengshi Niu.
