2nd Mediterranean Day "Economic and Statistic Modeling and Analysis" 

8th December 2023

CIHEAM-IAMM, Montpellier, France

The second Mediterranean Day « Economic and Statistic Modeling and Analysis » (MD ESMA) is organized by CIHEAM-IAMM, Montpellier (France), INRAE (National Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment) and R.L. ESMA (Research Laboratory « Economic and Statistic Modeling and Analysis », Higher School of Statistics and Information Analysis, University of Carthage), in cooperation with CERDI (Centre d’Etudes et de Recherches sur le Développement International, CNRS-University of Clermont Auvergne, France) and CREAD (Centre de Recherche en Economie Appliquée pour le Développement, Algeria); with the support of FESP, Cairo University (Egypt) and ENSA, University Ibn Zohr (Morocco).

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 the Mediterranean region. We have participants from France, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Germany, Canada, Belgium.

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.

Priority areas: Agri-Food Economics, Environmental Economics, Industrial Economics, Development Economics, International Trade, Gender Economics, Institutional Economics, Finance.
