We invite you to submit a paper proposal or express interest in attending the annual meeting of the CEPR Research and Policy Network (RPN) on Populism. The conference will take place on 7-8 June 2020, hosted by the Department of Economics at Stockholm University.
The goal of the conference is to provide a forum for high-quality research on populism and to bring together scholars of populism from across Europe as well as from outside the region (from both inside and outside the RPN). Both theoretical and empirical paper proposals are welcome.
This year, the meeting of the RPN is organised jointly with the 2020 CEPR Public Economics Annual Symposium 2020 which will be held on June 8-9. The symposium’s keynote speakers will be Emmanuel Saez (UC Berkeley), Alberto Alesina (Harvard University and CEPR) and Stefanie Stantcheva (Harvard University and CEPR). The symposium will include a special morning session on June 8 dedicated to Political Economy & Public Finance – to celebrate the launch of POLECON, the political economy network within the CEPR Public Economics programme.
Funding
Travel and accommodation expenses will be covered for all participants according to the CEPR Travel Guidelines. If you could contribute to the costs of your attendance from a research grant at your disposal, however, this would free up funds for other participants. Please indicate in your application whether you will be able to cover your own travel costs, or whether you will require funding from CEPR.
