About the Workshop

The School of Economics and Finance of Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) is hosting the 4^th annual workshop for PhD & post-doctoral students. The workshop is organised by QMUL PhD students and aims to bring together researchers from all areas of Economics and Finance to create a stimulating environment for participants to discuss pressing issues in their fields and receive valuable feedback on their work. 

The two-day workshop will consist of a mix of parallel and plenary sessions covering the following broad research-fields: Macroeconomics, Econometrics, Finance, Theoretical Microeconomics, and Applied Microeconomics. This year, the conference features keynote speeches by Abi Adams-Prassl (University of Oxford) and Manuel Arellano (CEMFI).

Presentations (approx. 30 minutes) will be followed by a discussion led by a PhD student (approx. 15 minutes). Authors of selected papers might be asked to also discuss a paper related to their field of research. The scientific committee, consisting of QMUL PhD students and faculty members, will select two/three papers that will be awarded the Best Paper Acknowledgement. These papers will be presented in plenary sessions and discussed by a faculty member expert in that field.

Keynote speakers:

• Professor Abi Adams-Prassl - Professor of Economics at the University of Oxford.
• Professor Manuel Arellano - Professor of Econometrics at CEMFI.
