Call for Papers
The Department of Economics of Universiteit Antwerpen (Belgium), the Wang Yanan Institute for Studies in Economics (WISE) of Xiamen University (P.R. China) and the EQUIPPE Research Centre of Université Lille 1 (France) organise their 2nd Joint Microeconomics Workshop on the 9th and the 10th of June 2011 in Antwerp, following a first workshop organised in Xiamen in 2010.
The topics are ‘microeconomics’ in the broad sense. In particular, we welcome papers on the following subjects:
- urban, migration and labour market issues,
- issues of industrial organisation and policy,
- public economics: taxation, provision of public goods and infrastructure,
- microeconomics of financial markets,
- applications of financial and real options.
The formula of the workshop is one of intense interaction between the presenter and the audience. Each paper will be assigned to a discussant, and all papers are discussed in plenary sessions. There are no parallel sessions. Only a limited number of papers will be presented (approximately three per university). Potential contributors should submit an abstract, before April 15 to the following local contact persons:
Prof. Jan Bouckaert, for Universiteit Antwerpen (Dep. of Economics) (jan.bouckaert@ua.ac.be),
Prof. Linlin Niu, for Xiamen University (WISE) (linlin.niu@gmail.com),
Prof. Hubert Jayet, for Université Lille 1 (EQUIPPE)
(hubert.jayet@univ-lille1.fr).
Full papers should be made available to the participants of the workshop before May 20.
Details on practical arrangements about accommodation will be communicated to the participants at a later date.
The venue: Universiteit Antwerpen, Department of Economics, Prinsstraat 13, 2000 – Antwerpen.
