This event will consist of two lectures delivered by Professor de Paula, with a one-hour lunch break in between. The lectures aim at providing a brief and select overview on the econometrics of networks. The material covers basic definitional elements and statistical models for network formation, their role in econometric estimation protocols and some aspects considered when examining outcomes mediated by connections in networked environments. The lectures will focus on theoretical considerations, but illustrate those in relevant applications in economics and finance where possible.
