CRIEFF: Research Networks and Workshops

CRIEFF has at various points been host to research networks and/or research workshops. This is a periodic activity that is regarded as part and parcel of the mission of CRIEFF.

Networks

Three examples of such networks run from CRIEFF are: the Network of Industrial Economics (NIE) (1998-2001) and the Seminars in Accounting, Finance and Economics (SAFE) (2006-2008), both of which were ESRC sponsored; and the Research Forum, Scottish Institute for Enterprise (SIE) (2002-03).

Workshops

Two examples of such workshops were: the one on Bayesian methods in econometrics (Bayesian Evaluation, Estimation and Implementation of Dynamic Models, CRIEFF, 16-20 June 1997), which was an intensive course; and the other, the Finance Research Group (FRG) (2007-08) which was a series of presentations, mixing advanced ‘tools and techniques’ with ‘practitioner insights’ from financial analysts and investors.

CRIEFF is open to suggestions as to what are likely to be relevant, synergistic and timely activities of this sort. As the above suggests, the forms they may take can be diverse. The Director should be contacted in the first instance with any proposals of this nature.
