Conference on Econometrics and Mathematical Economics (1992-1993)being held at Caracas, Venezula Dec, 1992; Univ of CA, March 1993 and Inst for Advanced Stds, Vienna, Austri

这笔赠款为计量经济学和数学经济学会议(CEME)提供了新的支持。会议的目的是促进关于计量经济学和数学经济理论和方法的最新前沿的讨论和研究，以及先进的数学、统计和数值分析技术在实证经济研究中的应用。这次会议加快和改进了知识及其使用，缩短了思想概念和传播之间的时间间隔，并通过合作促使主要学者将他们的才华用于确定、选择和解决未得到充分重视的问题。通过支持正在举行的关于计量经济学和数理经济学思想交流的研讨会，CEME的目标得以实现。CEME研讨会为居住在地理位置广泛的机构的专家之间提供了非正式的交流渠道。这些研讨会使选定专题领域的专家之间的互动比专业协会会议通常可能进行的互动更为持久。自1970年11月以来，已经成立了15个不同的研讨会小组，其中5个目前正在进行中。研讨会的领导人和参与者由一组不断变化的学者组成，这取决于该领域正在进行的主题和研究。研讨会的会议由领导人或由他们选择的其他主要研究人员计划。目前活跃的研讨会有一般均衡模型、计量经济学模型比较、时间序列分析、计量经济学中的贝叶斯推断和分散式经济规划。

This grant provides renewed support for the Conference of Econometrics and Mathematical Economics (CEME). The purpose of the conference is to stimulate discussion and research on the frontiers of the state-of-the-art of econometric and mathematical economic theory and methodology and the application of advanced mathematical, statistical, and numerical analysis techniques in empirical economic studies. The conference hastens and improves knowledge and its use, by shortening the time lags between the conception of ideas and their dissemination and by inducing leading scholars cooperatively to apply their talents to the identification, selection, and resolution of issues which are receiving inadequate attention. The objectives of CEME are accomplished by supporting on-going seminars for the exchange of ideas in econometrics and mathematical economics. CEME seminars provide informal channels of communication among specialists resident in widely geographically dispersed institutions. The seminars provide for more sustained interaction among specialists in selected topic areas than is generally possible at meetings of professional societies. Since November, 1970, fifteen different seminar groups have been formed, and five are currently active. The leaders and participants in the seminars consist of a changing set of scholars depending on topic and research being conducted in the field. Meetings of the seminars are planned by the leaders or by other leading researchers chosen by them. The current active seminars are general equilibrium models, comparison of econometric models, time series analysis, Bayesian inference in econometrics and decentralized economic planning.
