The BeNA Skills Camp is a format for doctoral students in Economics who want to enhance their research skills. Skills camps usually follow a multiple-day format, during which an invited expert offers hands-on and theoretical instruction on using useful tools and methods for economic research.
Suggestions for future skills camps can be sent to skills@labor-research.net.
