The Econometric Game is a two-day event in which teams of students from several European universities will solve an econometric case made by independent professors. ABN AMRO is host and sponsor of the project. In the next years, VSAE aims to develop the Econometric Game into an European Championship for excellent students in Econometrics.
As for the 2006 edition, 15 teams from 9 different countries subscribed:
Belgium – Ghent University, University of Antwerp, Chech Republic – University of Prague, Denmark – University of Aarhus, University of Copenhagen, England – Oxford University, France – École Nationale de la Statistique et de l'Administration Économique (Paris), Germany – University of Bonn, Hungary – Corvinus University of Budapest, Netherlands – Erasmus University Rotterdam, Free University Amsterdam, Tilburg University, University of Amsterdam, University of Maastricht, Swiss – University of Geneva.
The programme for the two days will be as follows (subject to changes):
On the first day the students will be welcomed at the University of Amsterdam at around 10 am, whereafter professors will give lectures about the case. These presentations will provide the students with background information on the case which could be used to solve the case.
