The 22nd International Workshop in Spatial Econometrics and Statistics (SEW 2024) will take place on May 23-24, 2024. The workshop is organized by the Grenoble Applied Economics Laboratory (GAEL) and Laboratoire Jean Kuntzmann (LJK).
The aim of this international workshop is to promote and develop scientific exchanges between economists, econometricians, statisticians and mathematicians on Spatial Econometrics and Statistics and their applications in several fields of economics. The workshop reinforces and encourages exchanges between senior and junior researchers involved in Spatial Statistics and Econometrics.
All submissions in the fields of spatial statistics, spatial and network econometrics are welcome (theory, methodology, applications) and it will be of special interest those contributions that are within the scope of environmental issues and public policy evaluation. We encourage submissions by junior researchers.
During the workshop, the Cem Ertur Prize will be given to honor outstanding research by a junior researcher related to spatial statistics and spatial econometrics.
This workshop is organised in partnership with the French Association in Spatial Econometrics and Statistics.
Important dates:
Long abstracts (2 to 6 pages) or Full papers submission from February 1st, 2024 to (Extended deadline) March 28, 2024. March 1st, 2024.
Notification of acceptance: by mid-April, 2024.
Registration will be closed by: April 30, 2024.

Margherita Comola is a Professor at the University Paris-Saclay and Affiliate Researcher at PSE. She holds a PhD in Economics from Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona. Her research field focuses on applied networks economics. Her work analyses network data issued from different contexts (surveys from developing countries, administrative data, lab experiments) and it enriches the methodological toolbox of network analysis (by designing novel measurement error methods, treatment effect measures incorporating network spillovers, and structural models of network formation).
Julie Le Gallo is a Professor in Economics at the Institut Agro Dijon and member of the Center of Economics and Sociology Applied to Rural Areas. Her research themes include housing economics, spatial economics and local public economics, which she studies using quasi-experimental methods, spatial statistics/econometrics and microeconomics.
Serge Rey is the founding director of the Center for Open Geographical Science and Professor of Geography at San Diego State University. His research focuses on spatial data science, geocomputation, spatial inequality dynamics, regional science, and open science. He is a Fellow of the Spatial Econometrics Association and the Regional Science Association International. Rey has received funding from the National Science Foundation, National Institute of Aging, National Institute of Drug Abuse, National Institute of Justice, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, among other sources. He has served as editor for Geographical Analysis (2015-2018) and the International Regional Science Review (1999-2018). He is the co-founder and lead developer of the open source Python Spatial Analysis Library (PySAL), and has taught workshops on PySAL throughout the world.
Rasmus Waagepetersen, received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in mathematical statistics from Aarhus University in 1995 and 1997, respectively. He was a scientist with the Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Denmark, from 1997 to 2000. From 2000 to 2007, he was an Assistant Professor and subsequently an Associate Professor with the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Aalborg University. From 2008 to 2009, he was a Credit Risk Analyst with Spar Nord Bank, Aalborg. Since 2010, he has been a Full Professor with the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Aalborg University. Rasmus Waagepetersen is an expert in spatial statistics and co-author of the monograph "Statistical Inference and Simulation for Spatial Point Processes".
