    IZA/OECD Workshop: Applications with Linked Employer-Employee Data

    Paris

    The workshop seeks to bring together researchers who share an interest in using linked employer-employee data for innovative and policy-relevant research. The workshop will take place on April 10 and be preceded by a policy seminar with a keynote speaker on April 9. The workshop is organized in the context of the OECDs LinkEED v 2.0 project that seeks to enhance our understanding of the role of policies in inclusive growth through cross-country analytical work based on linked employer-employee data from different OECD countries. We welcome submissions of applied papers using linked employer-employee data in all areas.

About the Workshop

We are pleased to invite submissions for the First IZA Workshop: Climate Change and Labor Markets, to be held virtually on Monday July 5th, starting at 5pm German time/4pm UK time/11am East Coast US time.

IZA would like to encourage new research work in this important area. Global warming is increasing the frequency of extreme climatic conditions across the world. Despite efforts to mitigate the extent of climate change, exposure to extreme events such as heatwaves, floods, and hurricanes will become more prevalent for the entire world’s population. In addition to causing damages to the environment and human health, climate change as well as adaptation to global warming pose challenges for the functioning of labor markets. In particular, this raises questions about the implications of climate change for a range of labor market outcomes, among others human capital formation, migration decisions, location decisions of firms, labor supply and productivity of workers, and labor demand across occupations.

The aim of the First IZA Workshop on Climate Change and Labor Markets is to bring together researchers analyzing these and other implications of climate change or climate change adaptation for labor markets. We hope to allow wide-ranging discussion in this online conference setting.
The opening to the conference will be delivered by Lord Nicholas Stern (London School of Economics).
