SUMMARY:2nd Bank of Lithuania Invited Lecture Series/Conference
DESCRIPTION:Bank of Lithuania and its Center for Excellence in Finance and Economic Research (CEFER) are pleased to announce its 2nd Invited Lecture Series given by Prof. Sir Richard Blundell\, University College London\, and Institute for Fiscal Studies. The two days lecture will be followed by a separate one-day conference. The lecture’s topic is “Micro-econometrics and Policy Analysis”. The lecture is intended for early stage researchers\, both at policy institutions and universities\, and PhD students at an advanced level. A short description of topics is provided below. \nPlease note that participation in lecture and conference are mutually exclusive. We invite submission of papers which are applied in nature\, have practical/policy implications\, and touch on following broad topics: \n\nTax policy\, labor earnings and inequality\nHuman capital investments\nInequality over lifecycle and across gender\n\nWe are also interested in theoretical advances in the very broad field of micro-econometrics and strongly encourage submissions in this field. \nDetails of the lecture and the conference are as follows: \n\nDuration of lecture: 12 hours\nLecture dates: October 13 – 14\, 2021\nConference date: October 15\, 2021\n\nSubmissions: Please send your submissions by July 1\, 2021 to Ms. Laima Štulaitė (LStulaite@lb.lt). \n\nIf you are applying for lectures\, please attach your CV.\nIf you are applying for the conference\, please attach your paper.\nIf you want to attend both\, please attach both CV and paper\, and mention it clearly in your email.\n\nAcceptance decisions will be sent by July 15\, 2021. \nParticipation fee: The participation fee is EUR 200 (incl. VAT) \nEvent location: The event will be at the premises of Bank of Lithuania\, situated in the beautiful old town of Vilnius\, capital of Lithuania. More information here: https://www.govilnius.lt/visit-vilnius \nCoronavirus contingency: The event dates were set under the presumption that by the end of 2021\, Europe will be (mostly) out of this pandemic. However\, as the vaccine rollout is slow\, we are going to work simultaneously on three contingency plans: \n\nIn-person event: If the situation improves in summer then only in-person event will be organized.\nPartial in-person event: The improvement in pandemic situation is heterogeneous across countries. Hence\, we will hold in-person event for participants who can travel and arrange online sessions for participants who can’t.\n Full online event: If the situation is quite bad\, we will resort to full online event.\n\nTopics for the lecture: \n\nPart I. Methods: \n\nThe first part of this course will discuss six distinct\, but related\, approaches to microeconomic policy evaluation: \n\nsocial experiment methods\,\nnatural experiments\,\nmatching methods\,\ninstrumental variable methods\,\ndiscontinuity design methods\,\ncontrol function methods.\n\n\nPart II: Dynamic models and methods\n\nThe second part of the course will examine recent developments for panel data \n\nDynamic panel data methods.\nDynamic discrete choices.\n\n\nPart III: Applications:\n\nThe third part of the course will examine several specific applications under two broad areas: \n\nTax policy and labor earnings.\nEducation policy and human capital investments.\n\n Organizers \nEstablished in 2015 by the Bank of Lithuania\, CEFER is the main research hub in economics and finance in Lithuania. CEFER is part of a network of National Economic Research Organizations along with the leading research institutes across the globe.  CEFER is also pivotal in organizing major conferences (Baltic economic conference\, joint conferences with CEBRA/CEPR and Bank of Poland\, among others)\, co-establishing Baltic economic association\, developing joint Ph.D. courses and administering Bank of Lithuania research awards named after Vladas Jurgutis.
