    Conference Objectives

    This conference will (i) study and explore Information-Theoretic (IT) solutions for linear and nonlinear estimation and inference problems, (ii) facilitate the exchange of research ideas in that field, (iii) promote collaboration among researchers from different disciplines, and (iv) highlight the major trends in Information and Entropy Econometrics.

    In particular, the Second IEE Conference will concentrate on the most recent (theoretical and applied) research in linear and non-linear IT and entropic procedures (Bayesian and non-Bayesian), with emphasis on modeling and measuring information. In addition, the conference will deal with the interpretations and meaning of the solutions to IT estimation and inference (e.g., statistical meaning, complexity and efficiency as well as informational meaning). Both theory and innovative applied papers will be included.

    Conference Topics

    Conference topics include theory and methods and applications in various fields.

    Theory and methods topics include:

    • Linear and non-linear IT and Entropic procedures
    • Information in moment based estimation
    • Measuring information
    • Interpretation and meaning of IT solutions to estimation and inference
    • Bayesian analysis and IT
    • Optimal information processing

    Applications topics from all fields and interdisciplinary papers within and between the following fields are particularly welcome:

    • Economics and social science
    • Business and management science
    • Natural and physical science
    • Medical and biological science
