Call for Papers

PSE-CEPR Policy Forum

Paris School of Economics, 18-20 June 2025

Submission Deadline
Sunday 30 March, 23h59 (CET) 

On June 18 to 20, 2025, the Paris School of Economics - Ecole d'Economie de Paris will host the third PSE-CEPR Policy Forum, following the success of the first and second Forums in 2023 and 2024. The Forum aims to discuss critical emerging issues among leading researchers and policymakers, reaching a large audience that includes government officials and legislators, corporate managers, the media, and academia.

The 2025 Forum's overarching theme will be “The Future of Work.” It will explore issues related to the reallocation of jobs and the reorganization of work in a world led by demographic changes, technological mutations and the environmental transition. It will explore the recent evolutions in social preferences and attitudes towards work, as well as the dynamics of compensations and their distribution across skills, gender, and race. It will delineate the innovative policies and strategies needed to meet those challenges.

The keynote speakers for this edition of the PSE-CEPR Policy Forum are:
  • David Autor (MIT),
  • Marianne Bertrand (Chicago Booth and CEPR),
  • Steven J. Davis (Stanford),
  • Barbara Petrongolo (University of Oxford and CEPR).
The Forum will feature policy sessions and research sessions where representatives of the OECD, the IMF, French DARES and academic scholars will present their recent work on the subject. It will also showcase the next generation of economists through poster sessions and presentations by PhD students. Additionally, the Daniel Cohen prize for excellence in PhD research will be awarded by PSE. Please see the link for further details, and the nomination form.

Call for papers:
This call for papers seeks submissions from young researchers to present their paper in an augmented poster format during one of the days of the forum. We welcome paper submissions from PhD students working on research topics related to the Future of Work. 

The goal of the poster sessions is to provide a forum for European researchers to get exposure for and receive feedback on their work.

Augmented poster session details:
Researchers accepted to present their poster will give very short (<10 min) presentations of their work in a pre-lunch session during the conference and participate in poster sessions during the extended lunch periods immediately following their presentations. All Forum attendees will be encouraged to engage with the poster-session presenters, and poster session presenters are encouraged to attend the full three-day event.

Eligibility:
Given its goals, only researchers pursuing a PhD from a European economics program are eligible to apply. Preference will be given to those students expecting to go on the academic job market in 2025-2026. 

If you are - or know of - a PhD student who may want to attend the forum, please pass this call on to them. To attend, the individual must have a completed paper that they can present and a (electronic) poster to display in the poster session.

Funding:
Grants to cover travel and accommodation costs are available for researchers who require it. Applicants should indicate with their submission whether they wish to be considered for travel funding, accommodation funding, both, or none. We recommend that you hold off making any travel arrangements until further information has been given.
