Workshop Program
Keynote speech: Sam Kortum
(University of Chicago)
This workshop is related to the lectures in the framework of the summer school. Paul Segerstrom from the Stockholm School of Economics will also present a paper.
The workshop is public and open to all. Especially PhD students attending the lectures by Prof. Samuel S. Kortum are very welcome to attend.Those who want to attend without presenting should send an email to the Silke Brandau. We would then inform you of the hotel where all guests are staying and would make a booking for the conference dinner (if of interest). For organizational reasons, we would like to ask those who attend without presenting to make their own accommodation arrangements.
