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.
