14th Side Workshop for PhD students in Econometrics and Empirical Economics (WEEE)

Bank of Italy - SADiBa, Perugia PG, 3 - 4 September 2026

The Italian Econometric Association (SIdE-IEA), in collaboration with the Bank of Italy, organizes the 14th Workshop for PhD students in Econometrics and Empirical Economics (WEEE). The aim of the workshop is twofold: first, we want to give junior researchers an opportunity to present their research project and receive feedback from senior reviewers and from the audience of the workshop. Second, we want to provide a natural prosecution to the introductory and advanced courses in econometrics for PhD students organized by the Side-IEA and enlarge the already rich community of junior and senior researchers in econometrics and empirical economic and business disciplines.

Papers must be submitted as a PDF file via email to [email protected]. Each paper must contain a short abstract, all the relevant information of the corresponding author (and, eventually, of all the co-authors) and must be written in English. Preliminary versions of papers will also be considered. All presentations and discussions will be in English. The submission must be completed with the inclusion of a CV of the corresponding author. The deadline for submitting the paper is May 26th 2026. Notification of acceptance will be communicated by June 15th 2026.

SIdE 2026 Summer School in

Advanced Econometric Methods for Complex Data:
Panels, Networks and Structural VARs

Bertinoro, 19–25 July 2026

Lecturers:
Koen Jochmans, University of Toulouse
Christiane Baumeister, University of Notre Dame, NBER, CEPR

Course description

SIdE Summer Schools are open to scholars and practitioners of all levels and are particularly aimed at PhD students and junior researchers. They provide advanced training in modern econometric methods, combining rigorous theoretical foundations with applied perspectives and hands-on sessions.

The 2026 Summer School offers an integrated one-week program focusing on econometric modeling and inference in environments characterized by dependence, high dimensionality, and structural complexity. The School is organized in two complementary modules, taught by leading international scholars.

Days 1–3 are devoted to panel, network, and high-dimensional econometrics, with a focus on identification, estimation, and inference in complex data structures.
Days 4–6 focus on Bayesian identification and inference in structural VAR models, with applications to macroeconomics and policy analysis.
The program includes a Special Research Workshop with keynote lectures by both lecturers, as well as presentations by senior researchers and participants.
