Econometric Game

What started out as a cold February Wednesday, would later appear to have been one of the most important days in the history of the Econometric Game and perhaps even for the econometric society in general. On Wednesday February 3rd 1999, the first National Econometric Game took place in Amsterdam . What started out as a relatively small, national event has evolved into a well-respected international event over the last decade. This year, the Dutch capital of Amsterdam will be a proud host of the tenth Econometric Game. Highly prestigious participants, a rising academic profile and challenging econometric cases with real social significance make the Econometric Game a unigue event really worth your while!

The Econometric Game 2009 was the tenth edition of what has come to be known as a unique concept. For precisely a decade, the VSAE organizes the arrival of the most talented young econometricians in order to let them compete against one another to solve a highly complex econometric case. The edition of 2009 was a highly successful one and can rightly be labeled a benchmark edition for future editions.

As in 2007, the 2008 edition of the Econometric Game was held in the Artis Conference Center . The event, sponsored by ING, noted a record number of 21 participating universities. The case was written by Tom Wansbeek, dean of the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) of the University of Amsterdam and the subject was marketing. The winner was Cambridge University .
