In particular, this summer school offers courses that will cover recent developments within the macro-labor and micro-labor contexts. In each course, both theoretical and empirical aspects will be covered as well as economic policy. These courses should be of interest to graduate students or academics who want to expand their knowledge in the area and to practitioners interested in understanding the fundamentals of these issues. During the courses, faculty are available to discuss research ideas and projects with the program participants.
Week 1 (June 29 - July 3, 2020)
Summer School will return June 28 - July 16, 2021.
There is a call for papers for students who wish to present their work. If you are interested in submitting a paper for review, please make your submission at: summerschool@barcelonagse.eu
Please put "Labor call for papers" in the subject line of your email. The deadline for submitting papers is May 30, and the schedule for the presentation of papers will be announced when the selection of papers has been finalized. At the end of the Summer School, participants who have presented a paper will receive an additional certificate.
Given the wide range of topics covered in the courses, candidates who would benefit from the labor economics summer school include:
The Barcelona GSE Summer School now offers participants the possibility of being assessed for the purpose of requesting official credit transfers (ECTS). There is an administrative fee for this (25€ for every 1.5 credits). Participants who wish to join the Summer School under this scheme will be asked to make an online request and pay the administrative fees during the standard admissions process.
Consult the Credit Transfer page for more information about this option.
Participants not interested in credit transfer will instead receive a Certificate of Attendance, stating the courses and number of hours completed. These students will be neither evaluated nor graded. There is no fee for the certificate.
The price of each course includes 10 hours of lecture time. Multiple course discounts are available. Fees for courses in other Summer School programs may vary.
