The BeNA Labor Economics Workshop took place on December 12, 2025, at DIW 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 “On the Organization of the State” by Edoardo Teso (Bocconi University) and “The Labor Market Costs of Job Displacement by Migrant Status” by Hannah Illing (University of Bonn).
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.
Laura Barros (University of Göttingen) was awarded the BeNA Innovative Research Award for her project “Economic Shocks, Opportunity Costs, and the Supply of Politicians“, congratulations!
We thank all the participants for their contributions to making this event a success and look forward to the next workshop in spring 2026!
