The Seventh PhD Presentation Meeting and Job Market will

be held in January 2012 at Queen Mary University of London.

The aim of the event is to provide a service both for UK and

European university economics departments wishing to

recruit lecturers, and for PhD students seeking academic

jobs in the UK or elsewhere in Europe. This annual meeting

has grown to be an extremely successful event, well

supported by both students and potential employers.

The event consists of two days of students’ presentations

and poster sessions. Participating institutions attend these

presentations and are also allocated a table at the

conference site in order to arrange individual appointments

with participating students during the course of the conference.

Royal Economic Society

The Royal Economic Society was founded in 1890 to promote and foster the study of economic science

Today, the main objectives of the Society are:

• To ensure that its scientific journals are regularly published, widely read and circulated, have high impact and attract an adequate supply of high-quality papers from an international range of authors.

• To organise an Annual Conference, and to ensure that it provides an excellent forum for both general lectures and more specialised presentations.

• To provide younger members of the Society with adequate support to enable them to undertake and disseminate their research, attend conferences and workshops and enhance their professional skills.

• To enable those in schools to learn about economics, particularly its applications and to foster the development of their own skills in economic reasoning and understanding.

The Society provides financial support to individuals and academic bodies to assist in the progress and further study of economics. Grants are provided to perform projects that conform to the Society’s objectives and enable recipients to meet research expenses and the costs of attendance at conferences where they are presenting the results of their research.

Details of the Council’s policies on awarding grants, fellowships and prizes are published on the Society’s website.

In particular, the Society assists postgraduate students to attend the RES Annual Conference, to present and discuss their research and provides annual one-year fellowships for a number of third and fourth year students undertaking teaching and research.

Royal Holloway Department of Economics

The Department of Economics at Royal Holloway and Bedford New College is one of the leading research and teaching departments in the London area. The College is one of the larger colleges of the University of London, and was established in 1886.  Queen Victoria presided over the grand opening ceremony.  The University of London itself was founded in 1836.  The Department of Economics, however, was founded later, in 1995.  It has been able to combine the vitality and innovation of a new department with the traditional academic strengths of a long-established college and university.

The department is among the top departments in the UK for Research Excellence. In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), 80% of the Department’s research submitted was ranked as world-leading or internationally excellent (rated 3* and 4*).

The University

Royal Holloway, University of London was founded by two Victorian visionaries, Elizabeth Jesser Reid and Thomas Holloway. Both played a crucial role in the development of equality in education through the creation of two colleges for women, Bedford College in central London in 1849, and Royal Holloway College in Surrey in 1879. Their foresight and philanthropy have ensured opportunities for many generations of students.

Thomas Holloway was a self-made multi-millionaire whose fortune had been made in patent medicines. He founded Royal Holloway College in 1879 after initiating a public debate inviting suggestions as to ‘How best to spend a quarter of a million or more’. It was his wife Jane who suggested a college for women as the means by which Holloway’s money might effect ‘the greatest public good’. Royal Holloway College, largely inspired by the Chateau of Chambord in the Loire Valley, was opened by Queen Victoria in 1886. Built around two quadrangles, today it continues to impress as much by its size as by the exuberance of the roofline with its many towers and turrets. As solid as it is extravagant, it epitomises the wealth, optimism and spirit of philanthropy so characteristic of the Victorian age. It continues to provide a home for the Royal Holloway Collection - a Picture Gallery of Victorian art that was the final touch to Holloway’s generous endowment.

In 1900, both Bedford and Royal Holloway were admitted as Schools of the University of London. The newly merged Royal Holloway and Bedford New College was inaugurated in 1986 by Her Majesty The Queen as a ceremony in the College Chapel. The merger provided more academic diversity and strength as well as greater financial security. It also preserved the pursuit of innovation and excellence which characterised the Founders of the two parent colleges.

The surroundings

The Runnymede area is famously known as the location for the signing of the Magna Carta. It was sealed by King John at Runnymede in June 1215 just down the hill from Royal Holloway. The location beside the River Thames is described in the charter as ‘in the meadow that is called Runnymede, between Windsor and Staines.’ Runnymede was chosen because it was a conveniently large meeting place close to Windsor Castle where the King and his entourage came from for the negotiations.

The College is located just a few minutes walk from Windsor Park and only 6 miles from Windsor Castle. Windsor is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world and the Official Residence of Her Majesty The Queen. Its rich history spans almost 1000 years. The Castle covers an area of about 5 hectares (13 acres) and contains magnificent State Apartments furnished with treasures from the Royal Collection, St George’s Chapel (one of the most beautiful ecclesiastical buildings in England and the burial place of 10 monarchs), and Queen Mary’s Dolls House, a masterpiece in miniature.

Arrival orientation and registration - The Windsor building is building number 2 in the centre of the campus map.

Sessions and Presentations - All rooms will have a laptop and computer projection facilities, therefore each presenter is asked to bring their presentation material on a flash drive. In each room, the laptop will have the Microsoft Office suite of programmes plus a pdf reader.

Typically, General Sessions will be 90 minutes in length, with four speakers per session.  Each speaker is expected to restrict their presentation to around 20 minutes including questions and answers. The last speaker in each session has been assigned as session chair.

Information and fire assembly points - In the event of fire delegates inside the Windsor and Management building should follow the green signs outside the building to fire assembly point 2. Delegates in the Arts building should follow green signs out the building to fire assembly point 10.  

First Aid and Emergency Services - Should you require first aid you should go directly to the registration desk in the Windsor building where assistance will be summoned. Emergency services can be contacted by dialing 444 whilst on the University campus. If you are located anywhere else the UK dialing code for the emergency services is 999 and you can dial from any mobile or landline telephone without charge.

Internet and telephones - Wireless internet can be used throughout the campus in the Windsor building, Management building or in the catering outlets the HUB and Crosslands (located inside Founders building). The universal username and password is available in the Windsor Building.

Printing and Office services - Whilst at the conference no printing will be done at the registration desk, any delegates wishing to use PCs in order to print material can do so in the Computer Centre next to the Management Building. Small quantities of photocopying can be done at the registration desk.

Conference Press Office - The conference Press office is located in the Arts Building room G003.

College Shop - The College shop is open 8:00 until 17:00 on the days of the conference. A Tesco supermarket is located at number 60 on the High Street, open 7:30am until 10:00pm.

Banking - ATM machines are available in the Natwest branch open throughout the duration of the conference.  The branch is located opposite the entrance to the Windsor building in the direction of the Founders building (see campus map).

Campus Bar - The Medicine Bar is open until 12 midnight on Monday and Tuesday evenings. (See campus map)

Phone calls - the international dialing code for the UK is +44.  If you are receiving a call from abroad to a landline then the person dialing out must replace the first number in the area code (this is always a 0) with 0044. For example a call to Egham in Surrey within the UK begins 01784, from outside the UK the code is 0044 1784.

Payphones are available to use in the Founders building. No delegates will have use of the phone on the conference registration desk or HUB reception.

***Important note about UK Power****

The UK uses 240v power supply, no provision will be made by conference organizers to supply power converters therefore if you are bringing electrical equipment delegates must bring a power plug converter.

Leisure facilities on campus - Guests staying within the University accommodation will have complimentary use of the leisure facilities on campus including gymn. Facilities are located behind the Gowar and Wedderburn Halls.

The Denis Sargan Econometrics Prize

The Econometrics Journal on behalf of the Royal Economic Society intends to initiate The Denis Sargan Econometrics Prize.

The prize will be awarded for the best (unsolicited) article published in The Econometrics Journal in a given year by anyone who is within five years of being awarded their doctorate. An honorarium of £1000 will be awarded to the winning author.

The winner of The Denis Sargan Prize will be chosen by The Econometrics Journal Editorial Board (Managing Editor and Co-Editors) and the prize awarded in the year following publication of the winning article. The first award of the prize will be for an article published in The Econometrics Journal during 2011. If an article of sufficient quality is not forthcoming in a given year the prize would not be awarded.

The Denis Sargan Econometrics Prize commemorates the fundamental contributions to and profound influence on econometrics made by (John) Denis Sargan. Denis Sargan, after periods spent at the Universities of Leeds, Minnesota and Chicago, was appointed initially as Reader in Econometrics and then held the Chair of Econometrics at the London School of Economics and Political Science from 1963 until 1984. He was Tooke Professor of Economic Science and Statistics from 1982 until his retirement in 1984 and was President of the Econometric Society in 1980. Denis Sargan died in 1996.

Denis Sargan’s research was prescient anticipating many of the themes that now dominate the econometrics literature. His 1964 Colston paper “Wages and prices in the United Kingdom: A study in econometric methodology” introduces the error correction mechanism that underpins much macroeconomic empirical research. Modern concerns with near identification are reflected in Denis Sargan’s Presidential Address to the Econometric Society in 1980 published as “Identification and lack of identification” in Econometrica in 1983. He made a number of seminal and substantive contributions to research on the estimation of linear simultaneous equations and instrumental variables models that also feature centrally in current econometric enquiry. His investigations into exact finite sample properties of econometric estimators and statistics and the development of improved asymptotic approximations to their small sample behaviour reflected his deep concern with the accuracy of econometric inferences.

Sargan Lecture Tuesday 11.15 – 12.30

Chair: Andrew Chesher, UCL and cemmap Location: Windsor Auditorium

To be announced

Rosa Matzkin, UCLA

Rosa Matzkin is Charles E. Davidson Professor of Economics at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). Her research has been aimed at creating a tight connection between econometrics and economic theory, relaxing, at the same time, the parametric restrictions that one typically imposes when estimating a model. When doing applied work, one may decide to make parametric assumptions because of computational benefits, scarcity of data, or other important considerations. Analyzing what can be inferred when such assumptions are not in place allows one to learn what type of conclusions do not depend on such parametric specifications. A tight connection between econometrics and economic theory allows one to interpret estimates in terms of the elements of the model, and to evaluate counterfactuals under environments where some of the elements in the model do not change. It also allows one to determine whether observations are consistent with any particular model.

Selected recent works include “Identification in Nonparametric Simultaneous Equations,” Econometrica 2008; “Nonparametric Identification,” in Handbook of Econometrics 2007 and “Cross Section and Panel Data Estimators for Nonseparable Models with Endogenous Regressors,” with Joseph Altonji in Econometrica 2005.

Session on The Foundations of Revealed Preference

cemmap Chair: Richard Blundell, Tuesday 18.00 – 19.30

President of the RES, UCL and IFS Location: Windsor Auditorium

Paul Samuelson first described the notion of revealed preference in “A note on the pure theory of consumer’s behavior” (Economica, 1938).,. His papers stimulated a large literature devoted to refinements and extension of this idea. This theoretical works has now led to a literature on the use of revealed preference analysis for empirical work that is growing rapidly and is doubtless set to expand further with the recent advances in partial identification and set inference made in econometrics.

The RES and the Centre for Microdata Methods and Practice (cemmap) are delighted to be holding a special session on The Foundations of Revealed Preference chaired by the President of the Society Richard Blundell at which we will hear from the three economists whose contributions have done most to develop an area which lies at the very heart of our subject: Sydney Afriat, W. Erwin Diewert and Hal R. Varian.

Sydney Afriat is Visiting Professor in the Università di Siena.. He Graduated in mathematics from Cambridge, with a period during World War II in the National Physical Laboratory, then completed a DPhil at Oxford. He went on to work with Richard Stone in the Department of Applied Economics, Cambridge , 1953-56, and this period initiated his interest in economics. His career has taken him to positions in economics and mathematics at numerous universities including spells in Jerusalem, Princeton, Rice, Houston, Yale, Purdue, UNC, Waterloo, Ottawa, Berkeley, Oxford, LSE, Macquarie, Osaka and Siena.

His main research contributions have been in demand analysis, index numbers, the measurement and analysis of productivity, general equilibrium, optimisation theory, econometrics, macroeconomics and dynamics. He is the author of many books and articles to do with mathematics and economics beside scattered other items.

W Erwin Diewert is a Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of British Columbia. His main areas of research are flexible functional forms, duality theory, applied economics and index number theory. He has played an active role in shaping modern official economic statistics in Canada and internationally. His contributions in other areas as well to the economics profession are reflected in the fact that he is a long standing Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, a Fellow of the Econometric Society, a Fellow of the World Academy of Productivity Science, and a Distinguished Fellow of the American Economic Association. He has published 98 journal articles and 122 book chapters.

Hal R. Varian is the Chief Economist at Google. He is also an emeritus professor at UC, Berkeley in three departments: business, economics, and information management. He is a fellow of the Guggenheim Foundation, the Econometric Society, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was Co-Editor of the American Economic Review from 1987-1990 and holds honorary doctorates from the University of Oulu, Finland and the University of Karlsruhe, Germany.

Hal Varian has published numerous papers in economic theory, industrial organization, financial economics, econometrics and information economics. He is the author of two major economics textbooks which have been translated into 22 languages. He is also the co-author of a bestselling book on business strategy and wrote a monthly column for the New York Times from 2000 to 2007.
