About the Symposium
After extremely successful Symposia in Bonn, Germany in 2016 and 2018, and in Austin, USA, in 2017, the fourth IZA Junior/Senior Labor Symposium will be held in Austin, USA, on Monday and Tuesday, 8-9 April, 2019. We shall have 10 papers presented by authors who are between 1 and 6 years past the Ph.D. (i.e., Ph.D. conferred between 2013 and 2018 inclusive). No author on any accepted paper should be outside this range of experience.
In addition to the ten authors in attendance, two senior labor economists, Andrea Ichino of the European University Institute and IZA, and Daniel Hamermesh of IZA and Barnard College, will attend throughout and will comment on the papers as they are presented, thus providing some extra mentoring at an early stage of scholars’ careers. Moreover, each paper will be discussed formally by one of the other junior attendees.
Submission
Please submit abstracts on papers that are NO MORE THAN SECOND DRAFTS by November 1, 2018 using our online application form. Those selected will be notified by December 1, 2018.
Travel and Accommodation
Those authors who are invited are expected to participate in the whole two day symposium. Economy class airfares and up to 3 nights of lodging for presenting authors will be covered according to the IZA Reimbursement Guidelines.
Kindly note that tax regulations prohibit IZA from fully reimbursing the travel expenses of conference participants who combine their trip with other destinations or extend their stay beyond the four-day window surrounding the event.
Please be sure before applying that your visa status will allow you to attend the event.
