About the Meeting
Going into its 17th year, the Annual Migration Meeting is following a long and successful tradition of bringing together experienced scholars and talented young economists to discuss cutting-edge work on migration.

We welcome submissions dealing with all economic aspects of migration. In particular, we envision the workshop to cover the following themes:
  • The economic drivers and impact of refugee migration
  • Integration of immigrants in the host societies
  • The impact of migration on labor market outcomes, innovation, policy setting and welfare
  • Migration policies and their economic impacts on sending and receiving countries
This year's keynote lecture will be delivered by Prof. Ran Abramitzky (Stanford University).

Researchers interested in participating should submit a paper or an extended abstract by February 1, 2020, using our online application form.

Junior researchers should also submit their CV. In the case of multiple authors, please indicate the corresponding author who would be presenting the paper.
