SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS (Reminder: Submission Deadline is Approaching) Conference on Information and Econometrics of Networks Washington, DC, USA, March 30-31, 2012 The Info-Metrics Institute is happy to announce a call for papers for a conference in Washington, DC on March 30-31, 2012. The two-day conference is supported by the Journal of Applied Econometrics and will be organized jointly by Professors Amos Golan of American University and Essie Maasoumi of Emory University. Social and economic networks are everywhere: from Facebook to the more complex global financial network or to networks connecting economic agents or to other complex and dynamic economic networks. The study of these networks is crucial for both academics and policy makers and presents a host of new theoretical and econometric challenges. This conference will concentrate on studying the information and econometrics of networks. The conference organizers encourage submissions of papers on any topic within this overall theme with a particular emphasis on the following areas: spatial econometrics, information in networks, factor dependence, empirical analysis of social and economic/financial networks, complex networks, and info-metrics and networks. Those wishing to present a paper at the conference should submit electronically a completed version or an extended abstract by September 30, 2011 to the address given below: e-mail: info-metrics@american.edu (please write ?Network Submission? in the subject line) Decisions regarding acceptance will be made by December 31, 2011.
