Workshop on Quantitative Marketing and Structural Econometrics

July 17 – 19, 2017

Overview. The purpose of this workshop is to help graduate students in marketing conduct empirical research through the rigorous application of structural econometric methods. The workshop is supported by the efforts and financial contributions of Washington University in St. Louis, Kellogg School of Management, and ISMS.

Location. The workshop will be held at Washington University in St. Louis.

Fees. Registration is free for PhD students and $250 for faculty. All attendees must cover their travel and hotel costs. To reduce participants’ financial costs, we recommend PhD students share hotel rooms. After we have received all the applications, we will help facilitate the roommate matching process. The workshop has a limited amount of funds available to sponsor students who demonstrate a financial hardship in paying for their travel expenses.
