Call for Papers
19th Annual GEP/CEPR Postgraduate Conference
Online
6th-8th May 2021
Submission Deadline: Friday 26 February 2021
Objectives
In consideration of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the 19th GEP Postgraduate Conference will take place 6th – 8th May 2021 online. The conference provides a forum for the dissemination of student research relating to issues of Globalisation and Economic Policy from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. These areas include Foreign Direct Investment, Trade, Productivity, Economics of the MNEs, Migration and Labour Market Adjustment.
The objective of the Conference is to bring together a number of PhD students and postdoctoral researchers to discuss their own research ideas with established researchers in a relaxed atmosphere. The conference is open to graduate students and post-docs. Speakers will be selected based on the submitted paper (extended abstracts are acceptable but preference will be given to full papers).
Submission
Applicants must submit their CV, a letter of support from their PhD supervisor (sent separately by email; this is not required for post-docs) and the paper to be presented. If a full paper is not yet available, please include a detailed abstract, providing clearly the motivation for the work, the relationship to the literature, the method used and the expected results.
Every paper accepted for presentation will be discussed by two colleagues. Therefore, those who are invited to present are expected to deliver a complete draft at least a week before the Conference.
Applications must be sent by e-mail to: Dr. Yuan Tian, at geppostgrad@gmail.com
Deadline for submission: Friday 26th February 2021
Keynote speakers:
Prof. Meredith Crowley (Cambridge and CEPR) and Prof. Rafael Dix-Carneiro (Duke)
