The XXXV International ASEPELT Conference will be held in Madrid from June 29 to July 2, 2022, organized by the Department of Applied, Public and Political Economics of the Faculty of Statistical Studies of the Complutense University of Madrid.

The topic of this XXXV conference is Data Science for Applied Economics, and the pivotal aspect on which it will turn will be the opportunities offered by Data Science for the advancement of applied economics. Economics is an empirical science. Data analysis is in fact one of the fundamental elements of applied economics. The quantification of economic phenomena, the contrast of hypotheses about the functioning of the economy, the elaboration of purely predictive models or the evaluation of the impact of economic programs and policies require data analysis.

All the information about the congress is already available on the web https://www.congresoasepelt.es.

We look forward to your participation and your valuable contributions.

On January 19, 2022, a conference was held at the Faculty of Tourism and Finance of the University of Seville, sponsored by ASEPELT, with the title The importance of financial derivatives in the face of market uncertainty. The content of the conference focused on the possibilities offered by these instruments to manage financial risks in times of uncertainty.

The conference was opened by a discussion moderated by Mr. Filippo Di Pietro, Professor of Financial Economics at the University of Seville, and which included the participation of Mr. Enrique Castellanos Hernán, Director of the BME Institute (Spanish Stock Exchange and Markets), Mr. José Luis García López, Variable Income Analyst in Securities and Stock Markets and managing partner of ENBOLSA, and Mr. Óscar Gil Flores, Professor at the IEB (Institute of Stock Market Studies).

The Workshop Advances in Quantitative Methods for Financial Markets will be held in Almería (Spain) in February 17-18th, 2022.

The attendance to this workshop can be Virtual or in Person.

This ASEPELT workshop is born from the initiative of a group of professors from the Financial Economics and Accounting Area of the University of Almería. The objective of this workshop is to share ideas that contribute to research in the field of Finance, in general, and financial markets, in particular. Undoubtedly, this initiative, promoted by the International Association of Applied Economics-ASEPELT, aims to be a meeting forum where young researchers, and also the most experienced, can make their research known.

This workshop has an international vocation and for this reason we will make an appeal to colleagues from universities around the world and we will offer the possibility of making presentations in a remote mode with the aim of encouraging the greatest possible participation.

On the other hand, aware of the interest that the modeling of financial markets has aroused in colleagues from other fields of knowledge, this workshop has a clear interdisciplinary motivation.

For the financing of this scientific meeting, we will have the support of Vicerrectorado de Investigación of the University of Almería and, of course, with the sponsorship of the International Association of Applied Economics-ASEPELT.

This ASEPELT workshop aims to be the continuation of the other meetings already held in our geography. For this reason, our final goal is the publication of the papers presented in a book published by the Publications Service of the University of Almería. In this way, the results of the meeting may have a greater diffusion and a greater permanence in our collective memory. The topics of this workshop are limited to the field of Finance related to financial markets and investment decisions over time.

The workshop sessions will be held at the facilities of the University of Almería, although we plan to visit some place in our wonderful province of Almería and thus have the opportunity to meet and share experiences.

Important dates:

• Deadline for abstract submission: 23rd January, 2022
