The IAAEU and the Chair of Personnel Economics at Trier University are pleased to announce the 18th Workshop on Labour Economics, taking place on March 26-27, 2026. The workshop offers a venue for researchers to network and to exchange their most recent findings and ideas. We encourage both theoretical and empirically oriented submissions. We welcome contributions on topics and perspectives related to labour and personnel economics, including research in the fields of well-being, pay schemes and labour market institutions, as well as education, health, gender or migration economics. We particularly encourage PhD students to submit their research. A time slot of up to 45 minutes is allotted for each presentation. We aim to assign senior workshop participants as discussants to papers presented by PhD students.
This year’s keynote presentation on Coal Phaseout and Jobs will be given by Michel Serafinelli (King’s College, London). Also, there will be special sessions on counterfactual impact evaluation jointly organised with the Competence Centre on Microeconomic Evaluation (CC-ME) of the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. To have papers considered for these sessions, researchers should explicitly state their interest when submitting.
Interested researchers should submit electronic versions of extended abstracts or (preferably) full papers no later than January
07, 2026, here or via mail to wle@iaaeu.de. If accepted, full papers must be submitted by March 01, 2026. A notification of acceptance for presentation will be sent by the beginning of February 2026.
