About the Symposium

The first (hopefully annual) IZA Junior/Senior Labor Symposium will be held at the IZA in Bonn, Germany, on Wednesday and Thursday, 12-13 July, 2016. We shall have 10 papers presented by authors who are between 1 and 6 years past the Ph.D. 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, Daniel Hamermesh and Jan van Ours, will attend throughout and will add their comments on the papers to those of the formal discussants as they are presented, thus providing some extra mentoring at an early stage of scholars’ careers.

Please submit Abstracts on papers that are NO MORE THAN SECOND DRAFTS by using our Online Application Form.

The deadline for submission is April 15, 2016.

Decisions of acceptance or rejection will be announced not later than May 10, 2016.
