Photo to the right is Min Ahn's Spring 2006 visit.  Behind Min are the Baltagis, the Horraces, and the Kaos.  More fun than a barrel of econometricians...

Photo to the left is Kei Hirano's Fall 2006 visit.  Pictured with Kei are the Baltagis and the Horraces. Does it get any better than this?
Photo to the right is Tiemen Woutersen's Fall 2006 visit.  Pictured are the Baltagis, the Woutersens and the Horraces. Doesn't Phyllis Baltagi look cute peering over Badi's left shoulder?

The bi-weekly Econometrics Lunch is organized by Badi Baltagi. Topics will include both theoretical and applied econometrics, with speakers both from SU and other universities. Speakers will be discussing their own work or important recent contributions to econometrics.
