An ESRC-sponsored workshop titled 'New cross-sectionally dependent panel data methods for the analysis of macroeconomic and financial networks'

On Wednesday, May 31, Yongcheol led a workshop titled 'New cross-sectionally dependent panel data methods for the analysis of macroeconomic and financial networks' at The University of Melbourne.

The one-day workshop covered the recent theoretical and empirical developments of the panel data literature on cross-section dependence and spatial dependence/heterogeneity.

The workshop's aim was to discuss the most recent econometric techniques in the field and to provide related empirical applications, and it covered:

  • An overview on cross-section dependence (CSD) in panels
  • The factor-based models of cross sectionally dependent panels
  • The spatial-based models of CSD
  • The joint modelling of the spatial dependence and unobserved factors
  • Multi-dimensional modelling in cross sectionally dependent panels
