2008 EEA-ESEM Conference Kicks off at Università Bocconi; Barcelona GSE to Host 2009 Edition
The 2008 meeting of the European Economic Association and the Econometric Society (EEA-ESEM) is taking place from August 27-31 Università Bocconi in Milan, Italy.
The European Economic Association (EEA) and the Econometric Society (ES) are international scientific organizations dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary economic research, including theoretical, empirical, and policy-relevant contributions.
The annual meeting of these two prestigious organizations features the work and findings of the leading scholars in economics and related fields, and provides an excellent opportunity for the economics community to stay at the forefront of research. The meeting, one of the largest of its kind both in Europe and internationally, typically draws thousands of attendees.
The Barcelona GSE will be the host of the 2009 EEA-ESEM. Plans are well underway to undertake the conference, which will be held between the two campuses of the Barcelona GSE- the Ciutadella campus, site of the UPF and a 5-minute walk from the beach, and the Bellaterra campus, site of the UAB and a short train ride from the city center.
The EEA/ESEM 2009 meeting will provide the opportunity for leading scholars to share their latest research as well as network with colleagues. Exciting social events and a wide range of optional programs will also be scheduled during the 5-day conference, allowing attendees to explore the cultural, culinary, and historical offerings of the city.
Together with the Program Chairs of the European Economic Association and the Econometric Society, the Barcelona GSE Local Arrangements Committee will be in charge of planning all aspects of the conference. The committee is led by Barcelona GSE Affiliated Professors Albert Carreras (Chair; UPF), Carmen Beviá (co-Chair; UAB), and Jordi Brandts (co-Chair; IAE), with Barcelona GSE Director General Eduard Vallory as Secretary.
As in previous years, the EEA-ESEM featured the research of many GSE Affiliated Professors. In total, 28 papers included in the conference were authored or coauthored by members of the supporting academic institutions. All four of the school’s supporting academic institutions were represented-- Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), the Institute of Economic Analysis (IAE-CSIC) and the Center for Research in International Economics (CREI).
In addition, a variety of sessions were chaired by GSE Affiliated professors, including the session “Experiments”, chaired by José Apesteguia (GSE and UPF), “Political Economy: Conflict and Rent-Seeking”, chaired by Jordi Brandts (GSE and IAE-CSIC), "Decisions", chaired by Karl Schlag (GSE and UPF), and “Inflation”, chaired by Laura Mayoral, (GSE and IAE-CSIC). Ramon Marimon (GSE, CREI, UPF, and European University Institute) gave an invited talk for the EEA titled “On the Evaluation of Economic Research in Europe”.
