This event has been re-scheduled to 8th and 9th September 2020.

Objectives


The 19th GEP Postgraduate Conference will take place 8th-9th September 2020 at the University of Nottingham. 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 will be discussed and comment on the paper. Therefore, those who are invited to present a paper are expected to deliver a complete draft before the Conference.

Applications must be sent by e-mail to:

Dr. Alessandro Ruggieri at [email protected].

Deadline for submission: 24th February 2020

Keynote speaker: Dr. Meredith Crowley (Cambridge)

Finance

There is a £220 registration fee to contribute towards costs. This includes up to two nights? accommodation and the conference dinner.
