About the Summer School

The IZA European Summer School in Labor Economics was created in 1998, as an annual event taking place at the conference center of Deutsche Post World Net at the Ammersee Lake (near Munich) in Bavaria, Germany. The Summer School is supported by the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), the European Economic Association (EEA), the European Association of Labour Economists (EALE), and the European Society for Population Economics (ESPE). It is funded by the European Union, under the Sixth Framework Programme, Marie Curie Conferences and Training Courses.

The objective of the Summer School is to bring together a large number of PhD students and senior lecturers to study new areas in labor economics. Students have the opportunity to present their work and discuss ideas with established researchers in a relaxed and open atmosphere.

The School is open to advanced graduate students from European universities, or Europeans studying abroad, engaged in the preparation of a doctoral dissertation or approaching that stage. Around 35 students will be selected, based on their preparation to participate in advanced study on the subject.
 

Lecturers

Giuseppe Bertola (University of Turin): “Labor Markets and Economic Integration: Imperfections, Regulation, and Reforms” (outline and reading list)
Richard B. Freeman (Harvard University, NBER, Centre for Economic Performance, LSE and IZA): “Searching for the Soul of Capitalism: Greed vs. Cooperation in the Labor Market”
There will also be a session on "design and presentation of posters" by Rachel Hardy (Warwick University).
