DC-MD-VA Econometrics Workshop
The Georgetown Center for Economic Research is pleased to announce that the 3rd Annual DC-MD-VA Econometrics Workshop will be held at Georgetown University on Saturday, September 17, 2022. This is the first in-person installment of an annual event that was launched in 2020 by the DC-MD-VA Econometrics community (GU, GWU, JHU, and UVA). The workshop, held annually on the third Saturday in September, is meant to gather faculty and graduate students working in Econometrics for a one-day event. The first DC-MD-VA Econometrics Workshop was organized by Johns Hopkins (JHU) and took place on Saturday, September 19, 2020. The second workshop was organized by the University of Virginia (UVA) and took place on Saturday, September 18, 2021. Due to the COVID pandemic, the first two workshops took place online. The GU econometrics group at GCER is hosting the third DC-MD-VA Econometrics Workshop this year.
