Call for Papers
CEPR Public Economics Annual Symposium 2017 8-9 June 2017, ZEW, University of Mannheim Submission Deadline: 15 March 2017, 6pm UK Time
We are inviting you to submit a paper proposal or express interest in attending the 2017 CEPR Public Economics Symposium. The symposium will take place on 8-9 June 2017, and this year it is hosted by the ZEW, University of Mannheim.
The goal of the symposium is to provide a forum for high-quality work in public economics and to bring together economists in the field from across Europe as well as key researchers from outside the region. Paper proposals are invited in any area of public economics. Both theoretical and empirical work is welcome.
The event provides an opportunity for researchers from different universities and countries to discuss their work in a relaxed atmosphere and to develop long-term collaborative relationships. It also provides an opportunity for young researchers to meet and discuss their work with senior economists.
The conference brings together around 40 economists for a period of two days. To foster the desired interaction we ask that participants stay for the entire duration of the symposium. The symposium will start in the morning of Thursday, 8 June and finish mid-afternoon on Friday, 9 June.
Funding
Travel and accommodation expenses will be covered for all participants according to the CEPR Travel Guidelines (http://cepr.org/sites/default/files/CEPR%20TRVL%20GUIDELINES%202016_2.pdf), but if you could contribute to the costs of your attendance from a research grant at your disposal, this would free up funds for someone else.
Please indicate in your application whether you will be able to cover your own travel costs, or whether you will require funding from CEPR.
