Frank,

Great idea. I think it will be an opportunity to brainstorm about the problem.

Vince,
Now that's an interesting idea -- the problem is that I don't really HAVE any
work yet, as I am just now beginning!  But yes, why don't I put a talk 
together
as to what I'm thinking about, why it's important, why existing methods may be
inadequate, and how I think econometricians can contribute.  Does that sound
ok?
F.
