About the Workshop
The School of Economics and Finance of Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) is hosting the 7th annual workshop for PhD & Postdoctoral students. The workshop is organised by QMUL PhD students and aims to bring together researchers from all areas of Economics and Finance to create a stimulating environment for participants to discuss pressing issues in their fields and receive valuable feedback on their work.
The two-day workshop will consist of a mix of parallel and plenary sessions covering the following broad research fields: Macroeconomics, Econometrics, Finance, Theoretical Microeconomics, and Applied Microeconomics. This year, the conference features keynote speeches by Sir Tim Besley (LSE) and Professor Martin Pesendorfer (LSE).
Presentations (approx. 30 minutes) will be followed by a discussion led by a PhD student (approx. 15 minutes). Authors of selected papers might be asked to also discuss a paper related to their field of research. The scientific committee, consisting of QMUL PhD students and faculty members, will select two/three papers that will be awarded the Best Paper Acknowledgement. These papers will be presented in plenary sessions and discussed by an expert faculty member in the field.
Keynote speakers:
- Professor Sir Tim Besley - Arthur Lewis Professor of Development Economics in the Department of Economics at LSE.
- Professor Martin Pesendorfer at LSE.
