About ESOBE
ESOBE 2026 is the 16th edition of the European Seminar On Bayesian Econometrics.
From a scientific perspective, it is closely related to the Economics, Finance, and Business
(EFaB) section
of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis (ISBA).
The ESOBE meetings are relatively small in person workshops that usually take two days.
They are organised annually in different locations in Europe, although recently they have also been hosted in the U.S. (New Orleans, 2018) and Australia (Melbourne, 2025).
A distinctive feature of ESOBE meetings is that they typically involve a significant share of PhD students and early-career researchers, offering them an opportunity to interconnect with established senior scholars and professionals within the Bayesian community.
The meetings have no particular theme, and they encourage discussion and promote research in Bayesian methods, computation, and applications primarily (but not only) inspired by the fields of economics and finance.
The collection of all previous ESOBE editions can be found here.
