Friday Seminar held at the University of Tirana, Faculty of Economics

The Friday Seminar was held on 16 April 2013 at the Faculty of Economics, University of Tirana, under the aegis of the Governor of the Bank of Albania, Mr. Ardian Fullani, and the Dean of the Faculty of Economics, Mr. Sulo Hadëri.

This seminar opened a new window to cooperation between the Bank of Albania and the Faculty of Economics, by institutionalising the exchange of experience on economics, particularly on applied economics.

Lecturers and students of the Faculty of Economics, as well as representatives of the Bank of Albania attended this seminar and presented a paper on 'A financial model for Albania: An approach to panel data'.

Further discussions about various macroeconomic models, their implementation and importance for the decision-making process in the case of Albania, indicate that the goal of the seminar was met, serving as a communication bridge between both institutions.

The Friday seminar was first held in 2007. It is a meeting of experts in economics, welcoming discussions and presentations about scientific researches undertaken by Bank of Albania's employees, and other Albanian and foreign academics.
