The BeNA Labor Economics Workshop took place on December 6, 2024, at Freie Universität Berlin. The one-day workshop provided young labor economists the opportunity to present and discuss their current research with other participants and senior researchers. The participants received valuable feedback on their projects.
The workshop featured two interesting keynotes on “Spillover Effects of Old-Age Pension Across Generations: Family Labor Supply and Child Outcomes” by Han Ye (University of Mannheim) and “The Big Shift to Remote Work” by Jean-Victor Alipour (LMU Munich).
Participants discussed their projects in presentation sessions and a poster session. The workshop was marked by vivid discussions during the day and included an informal dinner after the workshop. The program can be found here.
Martin Wiegand (UPF Barcelona) was awarded the BeNA Innovative Research Award for his project “Cities with Benefits: The Effects of Region-specific Unemployment Assistance
on Unemployed Jobseekers“, congratulations!
We thank all the participants for their contributions to making this event a success and look forward to the next workshop in spring 2025!
