My name is Dr. Ruijun Bu. I am a Senior Lecturer in Econometrics at The University of Liverpool Management School (ULMS). I am pleased to announce that ULMS have organized a half-day workshop in Econometrics which is due to take place on 23rd March 2012. The programme of this workshop is also provided at the end of this email.

 

ULMS warmly welcomes the participation of this workshop by any colleagues, research students and practitioners interested in this field. Participation of this workshop is essentially free of charge, but we do prefer to know the number of participants prior to the workshop. So, if you prefer to book a place or if you have any queries regarding this event, please feel free to contact me at [log in to unmask] at any time.

Thank you very much indeed. I look forward to welcoming you in Liverpool.
