The 8th International Conference on Econometrics and Statistics (EcoSta 2025) will be hosted by Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan, 21-23, August 2025. The in-person venue is the Waseda University, 1 Chome-6 Nishiwaseda, Shinjuku City, Tokyo (Building 11 and Building 15). A tutorial will be given on Tuesday, the 20th of August, 2025.

The conference will be hybrid, with all sessions live-streamed on Zoom:

• Session organizers will select in-person, hybrid or virtual formats to optimize the scheduling as much as possible, but all sessions will accommodate virtual participation.
• Invited speakers should coordinate their presentation format with their session organizers. Contributed speakers can choose between in-person or virtual presentation. To join online, they should follow the virtual area instructions.
• Last-minute changes from in-person to virtual presentations are allowed, but the scheduling will be based on the format chosen by the 30th of May.
• Speakers do not need to submit their presentations in advance. They can bring presentations on a USB in PDF format or download them from personal clouds/emails on the room's PC. Alternatively, speakers can use their own laptop to connect to the corresponding Zoom session, following the instructions in the virtual area.
• Poster sessions will be virtual, with posters displayed in a common Zoom session and rotated so that all of them are shown to the audience. Presenters may briefly discuss their posters or simply show them and wait for questions or comment.
• Participants can attend in person, even if presenting virtually.

The 7th International Conference on Econometrics and Statistics, EcoSta 2024, has taken place at Beijing Normal University, Beijing, China, and gathered about 960 in-person and virtual participants.

This hybrid conference is co-organized by the Working Group on Computational and Methodological Statistics (CMStatistics), the network of Computational and Financial Econometrics (CFENetwork), and Waseda University.

The journals Econometrics and Statistics (EcoSta) and Computational Statistics & Data Analysis (CSDA) and their special sections, the Annals of Computational and Financial Econometrics, and Annals of Statistical Data Science are the main sponsors. Selected peer-reviewed papers will be considered for publication in special or regular issues of the journals Econometrics and Statistics, and Computational Statistics & Data Analysis.

The impact factor of Econometrics and Statistics (EcoSta), released in June 2024, is 2. Computational Statistics & Data Analysis (CSDA) keeps its consistently good performance with an impact factor of 1.5.

This conference invites oral and poster presentations containing substantial advances in the broad areas of econometrics and statistics. All topics within the scope of the journal Econometrics and Statistics will be considered. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Part A. Econometrics: estimation of econometric models and associated inference, model selection, panel data, measurement error, time series analyses, filtering, portfolio allocation, option pricing, quantitative risk management, systemic risk and market microstructure, forecasting, volatility and risk, credit risk, pricing models, portfolio management and emerging markets.

Part B. Statistics: high-dimensional problems, functional data analysis, robust statistics, resampling, dependence, extreme value theory, spatial statistics, Bayesian methods, statistical learning, nonparametric statistics, multivariate data analysis, parametric & semiparametric models, numerical methods in statistics, and substantial statistical applications in other areas such as medicine, epidemiology, biology, psychology, climatology and communication. Innovative algorithmic developments are welcome, as are the computer programs and the computational environments that implement them as a complement.
