The purpose of this workshop is to gather young economists working in any field within applied/empirical microeconomics, including labor, public, education, family, health, crime, political, IO to present and comment on ongoing work. We especially invite PhD candidates, post-doctoral scholars and young career researchers.

There will be 14 presentations.

This event is supported by the Norwegian Research Council (FRIPRO Young Research Talents and Balanse Programs).
