The conference is open to PhD students at all stages of study, as well as to early career researchers who have completed their PhD in the academic year 2021-22. The conference program will include full presentations followed by a discussion and a Q&A session, as well as shorter ‘flash presentation’ sessions for students to showcase in-progress work and ideas. Submissions are welcome from all areas of Applied Economics, including (but not restricted to) labour economics, the economics of education, the economics of gender, and experimental economics.
