The LABORatorio Riccardo Revelli,
Centre for Employment studies, is organizing a workshop on:
1) Statistical inference for inequality, poverty and mobility measures:
Advantages and disadvantages of the bootstrap method;
and
2) bootstrap testing for nonlinear models.
Place of the venue:
Moncalieri, Turin, Italy
Date: 19th of June, 2001. Time: 9:30 a.m.
Two international experts - Martin Biewen (ISER - University of Essex,
UK,
and University of Heidelberg, Germany) and Russell Davidson (Queen's
University, Canada, and GREQAM, France) -
will introduce the topic to the non-specialist, taking them as far as
possible to the ongoing frontier research, presenting their own
research on
the topics and sharing with the audience their experience.
The aim of the workshop is to provide the researcher of the centre, and
a
limited interested audience, with a forum where to discuss
methodological
and practical aspects on the topic.
Two presentations will be given in the morning:
1) M. Biewen
"Statistical
inference for inequality, poverty and mobility measures:
Advantages and disadvantages of the bootstrap method"
and
2) R. Davidson
"Bootstrap
testing for nonlinear models"
followed by discussion.
In the afternoon there will be a practical in-lab session primarily
devoted
to the researchers
of the LABORatorio R.R. and a limited admitted audience.
Please signal your
interest in participating to the in-lab session separately.
