About the Summer School |
|
Since 1998, the annual IZA Summer School in Labor Economics has taken place in the conference center of Deutsche Post DHL at the Ammersee lake (near Munich) in Bavaria, Germany. |
|
|
The objective of the Summer School is to bring together a large number of PhD students and senior lecturers to study new areas in labor economics. Students have the opportunity to present their work and discuss ideas with established researchers in a relaxed and open atmosphere. |
|
|
The School is open to advanced graduate students from European universities, or Europeans studying abroad, engaged in the preparation of a doctoral dissertation or approaching that stage. Around 35 students will be selected, based on their preparation to participate in advanced study on the subject. |
|
| |
Lecturers |
- Andrea Weber (Vienna University of Economics and Business and IZA)
“Job Search and Unemployment”
- Jeffrey A. Smith (University of Michigan and IZA)
“Current Issues in Program Evaluation”
