Econometric Theory

The ET Lecture Series

The ET Lecture Series comprises two annual invited lectures, one for the SETA (Symposium for Econometric Theory and Applications) meeting in the Asia-Pacific region each year and the other for (EC)^2 (European Conferences of the Econometrics Community), held in Europe. We are fortunate to have the support of the Cowles Foundation, Yale University and Cambridge University Press as financial sponsors.

One of the goals of this lecture series is to reinforce the major role that the journal Econometric Theory has played in the econometrics community for more than 30 years, giving theory a strong place in the foundation of the discipline, broadening the research agenda by publishing work that econometricians like to do, and helping to inspire the younger generation of econometric scholars. The ET lecture is a significant keynote address in these meetings and is a major feature of each conference program.
