ESOBE 2025: the European Seminar on Bayesian Econometrics (26-27 August 2025)
ESOBE has been the premier European conference on Bayesian econometrics since its inception in 2010. It attracts international experts working in Bayesian statistical methodology and its applications in macro-econometrics, micro-econometrics, and finance. More information about past editions of ESOBE can be found on the European Seminar on Bayesian Econometrics website.
In 2025 it will be relocating to the University of Melbourne in Australia. It will follow on from the 2025 World Congress, (in Seoul on August 18-22), and precede a sister Bayesian Macroeconometrics workshop at the University of Queensland (August 30 – 1 Sept).
