The 9th International Conference on Econometrics and Statistics (EcoSta 2026) will be hosted by Ryukoku University, Kyoto, Japan, 8-10, August 2026. A tutorial will be given on the 7th of August, 2026.

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 presentations. 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 20th of May.
• Speakers do not need to submit their presentations in advance. They can bring presentations on a USB drive in PDF format or download them from personal clouds/emails on the room's PC. Alternatively, speakers can use their own laptops 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 comments.
• Participants can attend in person, even if presenting virtually.

The 8th International Conference on Econometrics and Statistics, EcoSta 2025, took place at Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan, and gathered about 1150 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 Ryukoku 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 2025, is 2.5. EcoSta ranked Q1 in both the categories of Statistics & Probability and in Economics. Computational Statistics & Data Analysis (CSDA) maintains its consistently good performance with an impact factor of 1.6.

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.
