It is our great pleasure to announce that Paula and Gregory Chow Institute for Studies in Economics at Xiamen University, Center for Forecasting Science at Chinese Academy of Sciences and Basic Science Center for Econometric Modeling and Economic Policy Analysis at National Science Foundation of China will host "International symposium on advance in panel data and time series econometrics" in honor of Professor Cheng Hsiao from July 8 to July 9, 2023, on the main campus (Xiamen Island) of Xiamen University. This symposium is sponsored by National Science Foundation of China.
The aim of this international symposium is to bring together econometricians or economists worldwide to Xiamen to create a great environment for discussions and exchanges in the modern econometrics research frontiers and also to celebrate Professor Hsiao on his 80th anniversary, and his contributions to econometric theory and various applications, in particular the econometric theory of panel data, time series and program evaluation.
Professor Hsiao has made tremendous contributions to many areas in econometrics, including influential work on panel data econometrics. He has also made great contributions to the econometrics and economics education in China, especially in Xiamen University. Back in 1980, he was among the first seven world-class econometricians who came to Beijing and delivered lectures at the famous "Summer Palace Workshop". Since 2005, he regularly visits Xiamen University to give courses and lectures, and makes continuous efforts to help students and young scholars. In 2008, he initiated a fellowship program "Tseng Hsiao Fellowship Foundation" at Xiamen University, which is named after his father, a renowned land economist. This fellowship program is intended to support full-time students who cannot afford their tuition fees and living expenditure.
