14th 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 include:

• Regional Structural Change
• 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 specifically encourage PhD students and 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 Ines Helm, professor of economics at LMU Munich with a research focus on labor and urban economics, will attend the workshop as keynote speaker.
