2020 PhD Student Workshop in Urban Economics
September 10 - 12, 2020
Online
The UEA PhD Student Workshop is an online workshop designed for advanced PhD students with an interest in urban economics including: housing, real estate, transportation, local public goods provision, the spatial distribution of activities, economic geography, and urban and regional policy. The objective of the workshop is to allow students to present their own research and discuss their work with faculty working at the forefront of research in this area. The workshop will run for three days with three to four students presenting on each day and further time for group discussions of research ideas. This workshop complements the Lectures on Urban Economics running in June and July 2020.
Participants
We invite applications from advanced PhD students with interests that are related to urban economics who already have a completed paper. Places in the workshop will be limited to enable an informal and interactive workshop. Participants are expected to attend all three days in full.
Organisation
The workshop will run on Zoom. The workshop will be held from approximately 11:00 to 15:30 (US Eastern Time) on each of the three days. Exact timings to be confirmed closer to the workshop.
