The recent arrival of new sources of information has triggered an outburst
of alternative datasets (social networks, business systems, internet of
things, large micro datasets ...), potentially useful
for macro-economic analysis and monetary policy. In turn, this has led to
the development of quantitative approaches able to deal with those large
datasets. The conference will cover a variety of themes related to the use
of alternative datasets for economic analysis and monetary policy. In
particular, we are interested in papers addressing
issues including (but not limited to):
• Econometric methods for the analysis of large unstructured datasets
• Structural analysis with large datasets
• Large micro datasets for monetary policy
• Monetary and macro models estimated with alternative datasets
• Empirical analyses based on heterogeneous agents models
• Macroeconomic now-casting and forecasting with alternative datasets
• Early Warning Systems based on large datasets
• Use of alternative datasets for emerging economies
• Text-mining techniques
Further Information: 
A limited amount of funding is available for travel and accommodation
expenses for active academic participants. Please indicate in the email
whether you need funding.
