How can national statistical offices accurately measure household wealth in countries where assets are informal, difficult to value, and often missing from traditional surveys?

Join us tomorrow for Measuring Wealth in Household Surveys in Low- and Middle-Income Countries, where Irene Toma, Federico Polidoro, Petrus Stephanus, and Hugues K. Kouadio will present the new international guidelines for wealth measurement and share practical implementation experiences from national statistical systems—insights available exclusively in this session.

Join us for an insightful webinar on:

Dynamic Item Response Modeling and Its Application in Health Economics

🎙️ Speaker: Prof. Kiranmoy Das
Professor and Head, Interdisciplinary Statistical Research Unit, Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), Kolkata

Item Response Theory (IRT) has long been a cornerstone of psychometrics, particularly in educational assessment. In this webinar, Prof. Das will present innovative approaches to estimating latent health conditions from longitudinal binary data using Bayesian hierarchical modeling.

Key topics include:
✔️ Dynamic Item Response Models for longitudinal health assessment
✔️ Bayesian hierarchical frameworks and MCMC estimation
✔️ Lasso-type shrinkage priors for variable selection
✔️ Posterior predictive checks for model validation
✔️ Applications in health economics, health sciences, psychometrics, economics, and beyond

The proposed methodology offers a powerful framework for modeling latent traits and understanding complex health dynamics among older populations.

👤 About the Speaker
Prof. Kiranmoy Das received his PhD in Statistics from Penn State University and has held academic positions at Temple University (USA), Presidency University, the Beijing Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Applications, and ISI Kolkata. His research spans Bayesian modeling, Biostatistics, Psychometrics, Health Informatics, Network Modeling, and Econometrics. He is the recipient of the Prof. C.R. Rao National Award (2021) and the IISA Young Statistician Award (2023).

The final day of the ISI Regional Statistics Conference 2026 is underway in Malta 🇲🇹

After two days of sessions, discussions and networking in Valletta, participants are coming together once more for the closing day of the 5th ISI Regional Statistics Conference.

Today’s programme continues to highlight the breadth of statistics and data science, with contributions on methods, applications, innovation, ethics and social impact.

A final day to share knowledge, exchange ideas and strengthen connections across the statistical community.

A full day of statistics and data science at 🇲🇹

Today’s programme in Valletta features no fewer than 30+ Scientific Programme sessions, bringing together a wide range of topics, perspectives and expertise from across the statistical community.

From invited sessions to contributed papers, participants are exchanging ideas on methods, applications, innovation, ethics, artificial intelligence and the social impact of statistics.

For many participants, the day will conclude with the Social Dinner — an informal setting to continue conversations and connect with colleagues.

A great day to explore the programme, join the discussions and connect with colleagues from different regions and backgrounds.

A productive opening day at in Malta 🇲🇹

The first day of the 5th ISI Regional Statistics Conference brought participants together in Valletta for an engaging programme of presentations, discussions and professional networking.

Throughout the day, speakers and attendees examined a broad spectrum of themes in statistics and data science, covering established approaches as well as emerging challenges and opportunities. Topics included artificial intelligence, responsible and ethical practices, methodological innovation, and the contribution of statistics to society.

An inspiring beginning to three days of knowledge-sharing, collaboration and new perspectives in Malta.

In many low- and middle-income countries, household surveys capture income and consumption—but often overlook wealth. Yet assets such as land, housing, livestock, and savings can be the difference between resilience and vulnerability.

Join our upcoming webinar, “Measuring Wealth in Household Surveys in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: New Horizons in Wealth Measurement,” to explore the new international guidelines developed by the World Bank, the Bank of Italy, and the Luxembourg Income Study under the aegis of the Inter-Secretariat Working Group on Household Surveys.

🎙 Featured speakers
Giovanni D'Alessio
Irene Toma
Federico Polidoro
Representative from the Namibia Statistics Agency (TBA)

🔍 Why attend?
✅ Discover the new global standard for measuring household wealth.
✅ Learn from a real-world implementation case from Namibia.
✅ Explore practical approaches designed for LMIC contexts, including informal ownership, gender wealth gaps, and economic vulnerability.

This webinar is especially relevant for national statistical offices, survey methodologists, development economists, policy analysts, and researchers working on poverty, inequality, and social protection.

Because designing policies without understanding household wealth means navigating economic development with a major blind spot.
