About the Meeting

We are delighted to announce the 13th IZA Annual Migration Meeting (AM²). For more than a decade the meeting has provided a unique environment in which to present innovative research and exchange ideas with renowned speakers, veterans in the field and junior scholars. We invite submissions of high quality academic work that extends, enriches, refines, and challenges our understanding of the broad array of issues related to migration. Researchers are expected to present their cutting-edge work. Following tradition, the conference will be organized in a matter designed to foster interaction among the participants in a relaxed atmosphere.

The highlight of the AM² is the Julian Simon Lecture.
Professor George J. Borjas (Harvard Kennedy School and IZA) will deliver this year’s lecture.

The invited authors are expected to participate in the entire 2-day migration meeting.
