Time Series Modelling and Forecasting using Stata
COURSE DESCRIPTION Time Series data is today available for a wide range of several phenomena in Business, Finance, Economics, Public Health, the Political and Social Sciences. The aim of TStat Training’s Times Series Modelling and Forecasting Course is therefore, to provide researchers and professionals with the standard tool kit required for the analysis of time series data in Stata. As such the program has been developed to offer an overview of the most commonly used methods for analysing, modelling and forecasting the dynamic behaviour of time series data, offering practical examples of empirical modelling using real-world data. The course begins with an introduction to Stata’s basic time series commands, before moving onto the analysis of time series features and to univariate time series models. Sessions 3 and 4 instead focus on the estimation of both multivariate time series models with stationary and nonstationary data and univariate models of volatility. In common with TStat’s training philosophy, throughout the course theory and methods are illustrated in an intuitive way and are complemented by practical exercises undertaken in Stata, during which the course tutor discusses and highlights potential pitfalls and the advantages of individual techniques. Particular attention is also given to both the interpretation and presentation of empirical results. In this manner, the course leader is able to bridge the “often difficult” gap between theory and practice of time series modelling and forecasting. Upon completion, it is expected that participants are able to autonomously implement the statistical methods discussed during the course to their own data, customizing when necessary, the Stata do-file routines specifically developed for the course. TARGET AUDIENCE Researchers and professionals working in financial institutions, policy institutions, research departments of utilities, governments, corporations, Ph.D and Master students in biostatistics, economics, finance, engineering, psychology, social and political sciences needing to implement time series data analysis methods.

6th Workshop on Financial Econometrics and Empirical Modeling of Financial Markets
Nowadays Central banks must navigate several challenges simultaneously, adapting their policies to address unforeseen crises, geopolitical turmoil, and long-term environmental issues. The role of central banks is expanding beyond traditional economic stabilization, requiring them to consider broader global risks and work in coordination with fiscal and regulatory authorities to ensure economic resilience in an ever-changing world. Monetary policy, as a flexible and adaptable tool, is essential in addressing the complex interplay of these critical factors. The different challenges have in common that monetary policy also needs to adjust and develop tools to accommodate the increasing uncertainty surrounding the future path of inflation and the real economy. This workshop attempts to bring together researchers from different areas to address these challenges. We invite researchers to present their original work on related topics including, but not necessarily limited to, the following: Monetary policy in a high inflation environment Change in monetary policy and financial market effects Inflation expectation in a high inflation regime Geopolitical tensions, inflation and monetary policy Monetary policy transmission in times of uncertainty and the role of financial markets Macroeconomic effects of uncertainty and geopolitical risk Central bank communication and financial markets Green central banking and green finance Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) Spillover effects in expectations and uncertainty Date and Venue: The workshop will be held on October 22 and 23, 2026 at the FernUniversität in Hagen, Campus Berlin.

We study how China accumulates and exercises structural power across four interconnected domains: security, production of goods and services, finance and credit, and knowledge and information — and how states, firms, and societies respond. The framework of structural power, rooted in international political economy, gives your research a theoretically rigorous and policy-relevant foundation. Whether your background is in quantitative methods, qualitative research, or both, you will find a home here. A particular strength of our group is working with innovative data sources, including Chinese-language materials — giving you the opportunity to contribute original empirical findings where systematic data is still scarce. Your research will be situated within one of our 15 Focus Areas, grouped into five Research Clusters — giving your PhD project a clear thematic home while connecting it to a broader intellectual agenda — spanning China’s role in regions along the Belt and Road, in Africa, Eurasia, and Europe. While each Research Cluster has its own thematic focus, they are designed to speak to each other, and many projects productively bridge two or more clusters. As a PhD researcher, you will design and carry out your own original PhD project within this broader framework. You will engage with cutting-edge debates, develop advanced methodological skills, and join a cohort of researchers working on one of the most consequential topics in contemporary international relations. Our goal is to gain a systematic understanding of China’s geoeconomic rise by using an innovative international political economy approach which explores how China’s structural power accumulates. What we offer Joining our RTG means becoming part of a dynamic, internationally connected research community at one of Europe’s largest centers for social science research on Asia. Here is what you can expect: - Your own PhD project — supervised personally and tailored to your disciplinary background and research goals - A stimulating intellectual environment — regular exchange with leading scholars and practitioners in international political economy, China studies, and related fields - Interdisciplinary training — through collaborative coursework bridging Economics, Political Science, and Area Studies - An international network — with opportunities for research stays abroad through the University of Göttingen’s and the Kiel Institute’s global partnerships - Dedicated career development and mentorship — to prepare you for academic and non-academic careers - A welcoming, diverse community committed to equal opportunities — we actively encourage applications from underrepresented groups The RTG is hosted at the University of Göttingen and its Centre for Modern East Asian Studies, which together form a hub for social science research on Asia in Europe. Who we are looking for We welcome applications from curious, ambitious researchers who want to make an original contribution to understanding China’s role in the world.

To combat climate change, many countries have committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The successful transition towards a zero-emission economy will depend on the ability to power energy-related processes with electricity from carbon-free renewable energy sources. This workshop will present state-of-the-art computable general equilibrium (CGE) models that are widely used in applied economic research to study the impacts of emissions reductions policies. The standard top down framework of CGE models will be complemented by a bottom-up representation of the electricity system to capture the pivotal role of carbon-free supply and demand technologies for decarbonizing the economy as a whole. The course will build on seminal peer-reviewed publications combining methodological expertise on hybrid bottom-up/top-down modeling with policy-relevant applications, ranging from technology-specific regulations (e.g. green subsidies, renewable portfolio standards, energy efficiency standards, technology bans) to economy-wide emissions pricing and revenue-rebating schemes (green tax reforms). Guided by a series of lectures and hands-on modeling exercises, participants will develop step by step the capacity to re-formulate model codes towards their own needs in academic research or policy consultancy. Mathematically, the models are formulated and implemented as so-called “mixed complementarity problems” (MCP), stating complementarity of economic equilibrium conditions with associated economic decision variables. The fundamental strength of the MCP format (beyond the standard approach of treating equilibrium conditions as a system of nonlinear equations) is the ability to handle corner solutions and regime shifts that are central to the analysis of sorting decisions, such as discrete technology choices. For the computer implementation of the numerical models the course uses the high-level programming language GAMS (Generalized Algebraic Modeling System) whose notation closely follows standard matrix algebra. The fundamental strength of GAMS lies in the ease with which mathematically defined models can be formulated and solved. The explicit algebraic formulation of general equilibrium conditions and the parameterization of functional forms to characterize technologies and preferences can become very tedious and error-prone, in particular for more complex production and consumption patterns. MPSGE (Mathematical Programming System for General Equilibrium) – which runs as a subsystem under GAMS – provides a short-hand non-algebraic representation for general equilibrium models, releasing economists from the need to write down complicated equilibrium conditions explicitly as well as from the need to set up tedious calibration routines for the parameterization of demand and supply functions. The workshop will show in detail how to transform algebraic CGE models into non-algebraic MPSGE syntax, which can substantially lower the entry barriers and time cost of CGE analysis. Material and teaching is in English. Explore our website for more details! Content: Part 1: Economic Equilibrium, Mixed Complementarity and Mathematical Programming Economic equilibrium in mixed complementarity format Mathematical programs: duality and complementarity Part 2: Bottom-up activity analysis of the electricity system Stylized models of electricity supply and emissions regulations Optimal electricity dispatch under CO2 emissions pricing Part 3: Integration of bottom-up electricity market models into top-down CGE models Standard CGE representation of an energy-economy system Model calibration to observed economic data (functional forms) A hybrid bottom-up/top-down model for climate policy analysis Part 4: MPSGE implementation of CGE models MPSGE syntax Converting CGE models from algebraic MCP formulations into MPSGE From static to dynamic policy analysis Part 5: CGE-based impact assessment of net-zero emissions policies Multi-sector multi-region (baseline) projections until 2050 Build your own large-scale bottom-up/top-down CGE model calibrated to baseline data CGE analysis: the role of carbon backstop and negative emissions technologies for reaching net-zero emissions Instructors: Christoph Böhringer (University of Oldenburg, Germany) Volker Clausen (University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany) Payment: The fee for participating in the training workshop is 2,500 Euro and includes lectures, course material and lunches.
