Dear fans of Stata, it is with great pleasure to announce the 2009 Australian and New Zealand Stata Users Meeting (ANZSUM), hosted by MEAFA.

The 5-day MEAFA Professional Development Workshop on Quantitative Analysis Using Stata, 23-25 July 2008 has proven to be a great success!

There is overwhelming demand for attending the 5-day MEAFA Professional Development Workshop on Quantitative Analysis Using Stata, 13 - 17 July 2009 .

I am pleased to announce the 5-day MEAFA Professional Development Workshop on Quantitative Analysis Using Stata, 13 - 17 July 2009.

The attendance at the MEAFA Forum on the Crisis in Financial Markets has exceeded our expectations with more than 60 participants from 10 disciplines across the Faculty of Economics and Business plus externals from the private sector and regulatory bodies. The forum comprised of a number of short talks from distinguished scholars from the University of Sydney (from the FEB and the US Studies Centre), covering an eclectic range of topics related to the global financial crisis.

Due to overwhelming demand, we had to transfer the forum to a venue with greater capacity.

Following the successful Second Meeting on MEAFA, 29-30 Jan 2009 and a recent strategy meeting, MEAFA has restructured its decision making processes and expanded locally and internationally.

Academics need to take a more active role in the debate for identifying the causes, understanding the consequences and suggesting remedies for the current global financial crisis.

We are very happy to announce the completion of a very successful research meeting, the Second Meeting on MEAFA, 29-30 Jan 2009.

You can now download a copy of the papers that will be presented at the Second Meeting on MEAFA, 29-30 Jan 2009.
