Presentation of the Conference

The COVID-19 and War Crises deeply stress the capability of advanced societies in continuing to ensure the current living standards to their population and to grant sustainable economic growth. Moreover, the current and now irreversible digitalisation process of the informative systems of private companies and public bodies poses new technical challenges for decision makers. To make the most effective use of the growing amount of information available, both from administrative and survey sources, managers need to develop in-house expertise in the statistical analysis of this information. This conference aims to discuss how statistics, jointly with technology and data science, can support decision makers in their activities and be the forum in which managers and public administrators can express their knowledge needs to the audience of applied statisticians. As in its tradition, the ASA conference is, however, open to contributions on statistics in its various fields of application, even outside the specific topic of “Statistics, Technology and Data Science for Social and Economic Development” chosen for this specific edition.

Submission of abstracts and contributed papers

 Contributed papers are welcome. Concerned scholars are invited to submit to the Scientific Committee an abstract in English, of no more than 300 words, with title, authors’ name, company or institution they belong to, and email included. The official conference languages will be Italian and English. A good practice would be to write the slides in English, so that non-Italian participants can follow all presentations.
