15th ifo Dresden Workshop on Regional Economics

The workshop aims at facilitating the networking of young scientists and at promoting the exchange of their latest research. Relevant topics might include:

• Regional Structural Change
• Mobility
• Development Economics
• Economic History
• Public Economics

Preference is given to empirical papers estimating causal inferences in a spatial context, natural experiments, or recent geo-data and respective methods.

We encourage PhD students and early-stage post-doctoral researchers to submit their research. Each paper will be allocated 45 minutes, to be divided between the presentation, a short discussion by an assigned workshop participant and a general discussion.

We are pleased to announce that Andreas Lichter, professor of economics at TU Dortmund with a research focus on public, urban, international, and labour economics, will attend the workshop as keynote speaker.
