Econometric Methods using Experimental Data

Charles Bellemare and Sabine Kröger, both regular CIRPÉE members, and Dorothea Kübler, of Berlin's WZB, organized a workshop on the topic of "Econometric methods using experimental data". The workshop was held in Berlin on August 18 and 19 and aimed at promoting the use of sophisticated econometric techniques to analyze experimental data. About a dozen presentations were delivered. Many renowned researchers took part in this event, which was financed jointly by the Social policies, market structures and employment area of research of the CIRPÉE and the WZB in Berlin.
