General Description
The workshop is intended for PhD students, post‐docs
and junior faculty members. The aim is to provide young researchers with mentoring
as well as with exposure to cutting‐edge empirical and theoretical research in
development economics. Participants will have the opportunity to present their
own research projects and to discuss them with leading researchers in a relaxed
and constructive atmosphere.
Structure
The workshop will include presentations of both completed
research papers and work‐in‐progress, both empirical and
theoretical. The number of participants will be limited to about 60. About 15
will be selected for a forty-five minutes presentation, thus allowing for in‐depth
discussion of each contribution. About 15-20 papers will be selected for a
poster session that will be in place for the whole duration of the conference.
Presentations by graduate students, post‐docs and other junior researchers who
have recently acquired their PhD will be key components of the workshop.
Applicants can submit either a complete paper or a detailed and
well‐developed research proposal. We particularly welcome the submission
of work‐in‐progress proposals that describe on‐going and promising research, likely
to benefit from an open discussion about the main conceptual and methodological
problems related to the project. Please note that participants are expected
to attend the entire conference. Participants who do not wish to present a
paper are also welcome.
