The Info-Metrics Institute and the Department of Economics of American University, Washington, DC, are pleased to announce two upcoming summer program courses, "Forecasting, " with Graham Elliottt, UCSD and "Bayesian Econometrics & Decision-Making, " with John Geweke, U Iowa and UTS, Australia.
The primary purpose of the summer program in applied econometrics is to provide students, researchers and faculty with state of the art econometric methods for analyzing data in the Social Sciences. Each day of the week-long course consists of morning lectures that develop the basic concepts and philosophy as well as their applications to real economic problems and data. Each afternoon, these methods will be applied and practiced in the computer lab. These daily tutorials and work in the computer lab provide students with 'hands on' experience in using these methods with real data.
TARGET GROUP AND REQUIREMENTS:
Each course in the program is open to students who have completed at least a year of econometrics at the Ph.D. level, to professional economists, researchers and econometricians who work in government agencies, non- governmental organizations and in the private market.
CLASS MATERIALS:
The text for each class will be announced prior to the class and will include a text book and/or a reader consisting of a collection of papers.

Classes begin at 9:00 am and end at 4:30 or 5:00 pm. There will be a morning coffee break, a lunch break and an afternoon break.
