The Econometric Society Australasian Meeting in 1997 was hosted by the economics department at the University of Melbourne on July 2 to 4 with Peter Bardsley (economics) and Vance L. Martin (econometrics) as cochairpersons. Special features consisted of a star-studded lineup of invited speakers, the inaugural E.J. Hannan lecture, a range of special seminars in economic theory and econometric theory, and a number of nonacademic but spirited special events that took place both during and after the conference.
