We will accept both theoretical and empirical papers on the topic.
Venue
The conference will be held in person in Brussels. Final location will be shared with accepted participants together with email of paper acceptance.
Funding
The conference organizers can cover accommodation costs and meals and refreshments for all presenters. Travel expenses (economy-class only) may also be covered according to limits set by the CEPR Travel Guidelines for presenters. However, funding is limited, and we encourage participants who have research funds available to use their own funds so that resources can be preferentially channelled to junior participants. If you require funding, please make sure to indicate this when submitting your paper.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: The author submitting the paper is expected to attend the conference for the entire duration and to present. It will not be possible to nominate a co-author to present at a later date.
