2nd Call of Papers for the
14th FIW-Research Conference 'International Economics'
24-25 February 2022
Submission deadline: 19 November 2021
KEYNOTE LECTURE: NATALIE CHEN (University of Warwick)
OUTLINE
The Research Centre International Economics - FIW announces its 14th Research Conference ‘International Economics’ and invites the submission of (full) working papers to be presented at the conference.
The main objective of the conference is to provide a platform for economists working in the field of ‘International Economics’ to present recent research.
Papers from Ph.D. students, young faculty members and young researchers in similar positions are particularly welcome as the conference aims to support and encourage young economists by providing an opportunity to present their work to fellow junior economists as well as experienced senior researchers.
The conference also aims at bringing together researchers and policy makers to provide a forum for a discussion on how empirical evidence can more effectively inform actual economic policy making.
TIME & LOCATION
The 14th FIW Research Conference on ‘International Economics’ will take place online on Thursday, 24th February 2022 and Friday, 25th February 2022 at the Vienna University of Economics & Business (WU), Welthandelsplatz 1, 1020 Vienna, Austria.
FIW conferences have always been about informal, as well as formal, interactions amongst participants. It was unfortunate that we had to host the conference in 2021 as an online event due to the pandemic. Given the current situation in Austria, we expect that the 14th FIW-Conference will run face-to-face in Vienna. If necessary, the FIW-team will try its best to make online-participation (i.e., present papers and attend selected sessions) possible. Guidelines on required safety-measures for participants will be communicated as soon as possible.
