Summer Forum 2018 draws 787 participants from 177 institutions
The sixth annual Barcelona GSE Summer Forum took place from June 11-22, 2018 at Casa Convalescència (UAB). During the two weeks, hundreds of researchers from universities, central banks, and international organizations participated in 28 workshops across the spectrum of Economics research.
The Summer Forum workshops are organized by Barcelona GSE Affiliated Professors together with colleagues from other institutions. The workshops offer a unique opportunity for researchers at all stages of their careers to meet and exchange ideas about specialized topics. Some workshops build on previous editions of the Summer Forum, while others were held for the first time this year.
"I organized a workshop with Daniel Navarro-Martinez (UPF and Barcelona GSE) on the External Validity, Generalizability, and Replicability of Economic Experiments, the first ever workshop on this topic. I really enjoyed attending the workshop and the Barcelona GSE Summer Forum: excellent specialist papers, wonderful presentations, high quality, but informal, discussions, ample opportunities for interaction and networking, great location, perfect and very efficient organization. Highly recommended."
Matteo Galizzi (London School of Economics)
Invited and keynote speakers are joined by others who submit papers to an open call, which has grown increasingly competitive over the course of the five editions of the Summer Forum. Over 1,460 papers were submitted this year, with 24% of papers accepted for presentation at the Summer Forum.
The Summer Forum is one of the Barcelona GSE research initiatives supported by the Severo Ochoa Research Excellence Program. The event organizers this year were Professors Julian di Giovanni (ICREA-UPF, CREI and Barcelona GSE Deputy Director for Research), Inés Macho-Stadler (UAB and Barcelona GSE), and Jaume Ventura (CREI, UPF and Barcelona GSE).
