About Advances in Econometrics
Advances in Econometrics aims to annually publish original scholarly econometrics
papers on designated topics with the intention of expanding the use of developed and
emerging econometric techniques by disseminating ideas on the theory and practice
of econometrics throughout the empirical economic, business and social science literature.
The series of research annuals, Advances in Econometrics, began in 1982. Starting
in 2002 at LSU, with volume 17 in the series, a small conference is held that is attended
by authors who submit proposals for research papers to be included in a volume. Visit
