History
Econometrisch Dispuut was established in April,1966 with the main purpose to represent the econometrics students in Rotterdam. The first major event organised by Econometrisch Dispuut was the first edition of the National Econometricians Day (Landelijke Econometristen Dag) in 1986, which still exists today. Moreover, the first edition of the Rotterdamse Bedrijven Dagen, which is the predecessor of the current Erasmus Recruitment Days, was organised in 1997. Also, Econometrisch Dispuut organised the first International Banking Project, which is the predecessor of the current Quantitative Finance Tour. One year later the Estimator was launched as an independent platform as a successor of the Journal of the Econometrician (Tijdschrift voor de Econometrist).

In 2000, Econometrisch Dispuut decided to separate from Economic Faculty association Rotterdam (EFR), receiving the status of an official school association within the Erasmus School of Economics two years later. Also, in the same year, the Auditor Fund of Econometrisch Dispuut (Stichting Auditorenfonds Econometrisch Dispuut SAED) was founded to serve the following goals:

1. Improve the promotion of econometric in general, especially in Rotterdam.

2. Support Econometrisch Dispuut by financially compensating people who have been connected to the association in a formal position for their studying costs.

In 2008, Econometrisch Dispuut started to organise first events for alumni and started developing more career-related events, like ICansultancy and the Find Your Match event. In 2013, the first edition of the Econometric Career Days (ECD) was organised. Moreover, the Quantitative Finance Tour was organised in cooperation with Delft for the first time.

In 2014, Econometrisch Dispuut continues as FAECTOR and the Estimator became an online platform.
