CeMMaP and University College London (UCL) are organizing a conference on implementation of structural economic models of dynamic behavior with empirical applications.
The program committee invites both applied and methodological work on implementation and estimation of structural dynamic models for individual decision making within, but not restricted to, the fields of Industrial Organization, Labor, Public, Health, Development, Environmental and Urban and Regional Economics This include papers on auction models, dynamic discrete choice models, dynamic games and their applications to differentiated product demand, oligopoly equilibrium. A clear link between the theoretical economic model and econometric model should be a hallmark of the papers presented.
The conference programme will offer an exciting mix of applied and theoretical work. Applied papers should involve innovative dynamic models and/or tools for their implementation. Theoretical work should make methodological contributions to the development and/or analysis of new econometric and computational methods for the implementation of dynamic structural models.

Paper submission
We primarily invite submissions of complete papers, but will also consider submissions of extended abstracts (2 pages). Prospective contributors are invited to submit papers at http://editorialexpress.com/conference/Dynamic_Models/
Deadline for submission: 15 May 2017
All submitted papers will be reviewed prior to acceptance for presentation. The scientific committee will finish the review process by 15 June 2017 and will notify applicants by email. Following the review process, a final program will be put together and posted at the conference’s website.
