Surrounded by the beauty and hospitality of Upper Bavaria, the EBE Summer Meeting 2018 offered its participants interesting presentations about state-of-the-art economic research and the opportunity to get in touch with junior researchers from some of the top economics departments.
At the conference center of the “Haus der Bayrischen Wirtschaft”, the young economists presented their research projects to their fellow doctoral students and engaged in vivid and fruitful discussions that spurred many new ideas. More than 60 young economists from Universities including Oxford, LSE, Zurich, UCLA, Munich, Bonn, Mannheim, RWI Essen and DIW Berlin attended this EBE Summer Meeting, which took place for the second time.
Daniele Nosenzo (University of Nottingham) and Leonardo Bursztyn (University of Chicago), the two keynote speakers of the conference, shared their expertise not only with their talks, but they also engaged in lively discussions with the young researchers throughout the conference. Moreover, a series of talks and poster-sessions offered further opportunities to learn about a variety of interesting research projects.
The third EBE Summer Meeting will be held in 2020. It will once again host member of the doctoral program and international guests who present and discuss the newest developments in economic research.
