The 12th ECB Conference on Forecasting Techniques — Forecasting “at Risk”
Frankfurt am Main, Germany – 12 and 13 June 2023
The European Central Bank will be holding its 12th Conference on Forecasting Techniques in Frankfurt am Main on 12 and 13 June 2023. The conference will be held onsite with live streaming but without the possibility of active online participation.
This biennial conference provides a forum for new theoretical and applied work on forecasting with an aim to put new insights into practice. The forthcoming edition again aims at addressing the current challenges faced by macro-economic and financial forecasters. The world economy continues operating with high economic, financial, and political risks. Forecasting in such an environment not only must deal with an increased probability of extreme events, along with nonlinearities and structural breaks, but it also should inform policymakers on the degree and structure of uncertainty itself.
We therefore particularly encourage submissions of papers on the following topics:
- Forecasting (at) the tails: modelling choices, loss functions, and model evaluation
- Model-based risk assessment, non-standard forecast densities, and the quantification of risks
- Robust forecasting in the presence of nonlinearities and structural breaks
- Machine learning for dependent data and scalable forecasting methods
- Big and/or unstructured data and dimension reduction techniques
- Forecasting inflation and real activity
- Forecasting climate change and its economic consequences
The scope of the conference is not limited to the topics listed above and submissions from all areas of forecasting are welcome.

30th IIF Workshop: New Directions for Inflation Forecasting – Paris, France – 16-17 December 2021
The analysis of inflation dynamics and their possible changes over time is a key input in the design of monetary policy. Until recently, the Phillips curve was a corner stone of most business cycles analysis. Yet, since a decade or even more, inflation seems disconnected from the business cycles both in mean and variance. This 1.5-day international workshop aims at bringing together experts of the field, both academics and from international institutions, exploring new determinants of inflation forecasts and their distribution, as well as non-linear, non-causal or time-varying aspects of inflation forecasting models.
Organizers: Frédérique Bec (Cergy Paris University); Dick van Dijk (Erasmus University Rotterdam); Laurent Ferrara (SKEMA Business School)
29th IIF Workshop: Foreacting in a changing environment – Madrid, Spain – 9-10 December 2021
Economic forecasting covers a wide range of topics and subfields: nowcasting the state of the economy, financial forecasting, marketing, etc., just to mention a few. Models and techniques are diverse, ranging from small scale models to big data analytics. On top of that, the COVID-19 pandemic has provoked the most severe recession observed since the XX century. The changing pattern in the dynamic dependence of many time series has consequences in the pre-processing of the data as, for instance, in outlier detection and deseasonalizing, as well as in the models and procedures used to forecasting. All in all, forecasting economic time series nowadays is a complicated task. This workshop brings together a group of renowned scholars and analysts with the aim of sharing their forecasting experiences in these turbulent times.
