Conference description

The 2nd Italian Conference on Economic Statistics will be held  at the University of Florence (Italy) on February 7-8, 2024.

The focus of the 2nd Conference on Economic Statistics is on Statistical Analysis of Complex Economic Data.

In the most recent years, Economic Statistics, like other applied and non-applied sciences, has been involved in the new intense data revolution, which regards all research fields, especially for data collection and processing issues. The traditional statistical measures, used to monitor economic activities, are transformed from slow and periodic recordings into real-time information, with the need to integrate different sources of information. Complex data offer additional information to analyse economic phenomena, although main problems are still open questions regarding methodological issues, costs of collection, storing and analysis.

In the light of this, the Conference aims to discuss the management and usefulness of complex data in the analysis of economic phenomena, focusing on recent developments and empirical applications.

Participation in the Conference is free. Lunch and coffee breaks are included.

 

Conference topics

The Conference aims to bring together top scholars, leading academics, practitioners and policymakers who are doing empirical work and/or theoretical research in any area of complex data in economics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 

  1. Official and non-official statistics for the analysis of complex data (management, harmonisation, use and utility)
  2. Web sources and analysis of complex data: X-twitter, Facebook, Googletrends and others
  3. Methodological issues using complex data in economics
  4. Complex data and the analysis of the labour market, tourism, public administration and population
  5. Spatial and time series analysis through complex data
  6. Statistics, big data and data science in the business and industry analysis
