This purpose of this project is to hold two conferences on the state of empirical economics organized around chapters written for Volume V of the Handbook of Econometrics, the empirical and applied complement to the recently-published Volume IV. The goal of the volume is to provide an up-to-date account of views of best practice empirical research in economics. The target audience is the applied econometrics community. The first function of this targeting is to improve the practice of econometrics by demonstrating to this wider audience how advanced methods of econometrics can be used to advantage to address real problems. The second function is to improve the theory of econometrics by communicating to theorists what is working out in practice, what is not, and what needs to be done. These two conferences are a very important step in achieving these goals. Issues of judgment and interpretation always characterize empirical research, and it is essential to have a dialogue that will improve the quality of the papers in the published volume, and that will allow dissenting views both at the conference and in the published volume.

本项目的目的是围绕《计量经济学手册》第五卷的章节组织两次关于实证经济学现状的会议，该手册是对最近出版的第四卷的实证和应用补充。 该卷的目标是提供最新的经济学最佳实践经验研究的观点。 目标受众是应用计量经济学社区。 这一目标的第一个功能是通过向更广泛的受众展示如何利用先进的计量经济学方法来解决真实的问题，从而改善计量经济学的实践。 第二个功能是通过向理论家传达什么在实践中可行，什么不可行，以及需要做什么来改进计量经济学理论。 这两次会议是实现这些目标的非常重要的一步。 判断和解释问题总是实证研究的特征，有必要进行对话，以提高出版卷中论文的质量，并允许在会议和出版卷中发表不同意见。
