World Econometric Congress Programme

Colm sent the link to the programme for this year's Econometric Society Congress. Even if you can't make it to Shanghai, the programme itself is well worth looking through and many of the papers are available in various working paper series that can be found with some googling. There are very many sessions relevant to different people who read this blog. Below are three examples.
