Econometrics Lunch Seminar: About us ...

The MIT Econometrics Lunch Seminar is a great opportunity for faculty and students to interact in an informal setting. The aim is to present theoretical and empirical econometrics work-in- progress, and receive comments and feedback. As an added incentive free food will be served.

The seminar meets once a week during term time at MIT (in Building E-52). Presenters are usually MIT students and faculty. However, we welcome guest speakers from other institutions who wish to share their work with us.

If you would like to present, please get in touch with Matt Harding (mharding@mit.edu).
