OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Structural empirical work either results in models with stochastic error terms (i.e. models which don’t fit), or places weak deterministic bounds on the objects of interest (i.e. bounds which are “sharp” in the sense of exhausting the empirical content of the economic theory, but which are close-to-useless for any practical purpose). This talk looks at an alternative: statistical interpolation based on random fields. The talk will cover the general idea and look at an application to individual labour supply
