Department of Economics at the University of Mainz invites submissions for a one-day Mainz Workshop in Labour Economics, which will take place on February 18, 2011.
The purpose of the workshop is to stimulate exchange of ideas in a wide range of topics in labour economics, with particular focus on unemployment, inequality, poverty and wealth accumulation dynamics in advanced economies. Theoretical and empirical contributions are equally welcome. The keynote speech of the workshop will be delivered by Prof. Daniel Hamermesh (University of Texas at Austin).
The deadline for submissions is January 7, 2011. Authors of submitted papers will be notified of the decision shortly thereafter. For submission, please send your paper as an email attachment to Andrey Launov ( andrey.launov@uni-mainz.de?subject=Call%20for%20papers%20-%20Mainz%20Workshop%20in%20Labour%20Economics).
University of Mainz will provide accommodation and reimburse economy class travel costs for the authors whose contributions were accepted to the workshop.
The workshop is public and open to all.
