Structural Models for Policy Evaluation
18 th ZEW Summer Workshop for Young Economists Call for Papers
The Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) is pleased to invite submissions for its 18th Summer Workshop for Young Economists in Mannheim on July 4 to 7, 2016. This year’s objective is to discuss recent developments and empirical applications of structural models for policy evaluation. The workshop aims at bringing together promising international doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows for four days of intense training by renowned international scholars. The summer school will include lectures by three leading econ- omists and paper presentations allowing the participants to present and discuss their work, and get advice from the lecturers.
Young scholars who wish to attend the workshop are invited to submit a paper. Papers should use a struc- tural approach to the evaluation of economic policies. We particularly welcome applications from the fields of labour economics and public finance.
