FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

 

The Second International Econometric Conference in Vietnam –

ECONVN2019

 

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, January 14-16, 2019

 

Beyond Traditional Probabilistic Methods in Economics

 

The Conference: The FIRST ECONVN2018 was focusing on the main

theme "Econometrics for Financial Applications" with contributed

papers published in the Springer Series in Computational

Intelligence, # 760, 2018.

 

This Second Conference (ECONVN2019) will be devoted to recent

improved methods for economic data analysis, under the theme

Beyond Traditional Probabilistic Methods in Economics.

 

The theme arises at a critical moment where, starting at the dawn

of this century, there are serious concerns about the way

statistics was used in analyzing economic data for real-world

applications, exemplided by the misuse of P-values in hypothesis

testing, the confusion between fitting data and prediction ("to

explain or to predict"), the potential contribution of machine

learning to statistical analysis, the problem of modeling

structural changes in data, and, in view of the 2017 Nobel Prize

in Economics for Behavioral Economics, a fresh look at cognitive

decision-making, affecting predictive modeling of financial data,

in particular, namely extending traditional von Neumann’s expected

utility theory (for economic equilibria) to a more realistic

framework in which non-additivity and non-commutativity of

uncertainty measures can be captured (a promising approach is the

use of "quantum-like probability").

 

While the theme is the focus of the Conference, all other research

in Economics, especially in Finance and Banking, are welcome.

 

Accepted papers will be published in the Springer Series in

Computational Intelligence (SCOPUS).

 

Timing:  January 14-16, 2019
