Inaugural Workshop Objectives
The objectives of this workshop are to lay out the basics of Info-Metrics, study the state of Information-Theoretic estimation and data analysis and present a host of potential applications where these methods may be a way to resolve some open questions and/or where Info-Metrics may serve as a complementary way for understanding the data. Among the applications discussed within the social sciences are Finance and Risk Management, Applied IO, and Applied Welfare analysis. Applications and data problems within the natural sciences will be discussed as well.
