Beit Al-Hikma, Carthage, Tunisia

The first Mediterranean Day « Economic and Statistic Modeling and Analysis » (MD ESMA) is organized by R.U. ESMA (Research Unit « Economic and Statistic Modeling and Analysis », Higher School of Statistics and Information Analysis, University of Carthage)and INRA (French Institute for Agricultural Research), in cooperation with CREAD (Centre de Recherche en Economie Appliquée pour le Développement, Algeria), laboratory EIEA(«Economie Industrielle de l'Emergence de l'Afrique », Faculté de Sciences et Technologie de l’Université Mohamed 6 Polytechnique, UM6P, Maroc), CERDI (Centre d’Etudes et de Recherches sur le Développement International, CNRS-University of Clermont Auvergne) ; with the support of the chair UM6P-Mines ParisTech « EIEA », VALUETEAM (ARIMNET 2) program and MASE scientific association.

This conference is dedicated to the work of researchers from the Mediterranean region or studying topics concerning the Mediterranean or MENA regions, with a special attention to young researchers (PhD students and postdocs) from Maghreb countries and more generally from Africa.

It aims on the one hand at enhancing the work of young researchers of these regions using quantitative methods and economic and mathematical modeling, while giving them the benefit of the experience of senior researchers. It will thus allow identifying PhD students and postdocs using these approaches that are little used in the economic research in some of those countries. This conference is on the other hand an opportunity for these teams to meet, exchange views, share experience and consider the possibility to set-up partnerships within European and international projects in order to build long-term relations.

A selection of presented articles will be proposed for publication in New Medit Journal and JAFIO (Journal of Agricultural and Food Industrial Organization).

Priority areas: Applied Statistics, Econometrics, Industrial Economics, Development Economics, Environmental Economics, Agri-Food Economics and Finance.
