The third annual IZA European Summer School in Labor Economics
was held from May 29th to June 4th 2000. In the relaxed
atmosphere at the conference center of the German Post Office
(Deutsche Post) in Buch at the lake of Ammersee, Bavaria,
Germany, the summer school once again brought together a group
Ph.D. students, selected by a committee out of 130 applicants,
with distinguished scholars. During the course of the week,
each student was given the opportunity to present their
research ideas either through giving a formal talk or through
hosting a poster session. These presentations created the
setting for many open and lively debates, and ensured students
of numerous helpful comments from both their colleagues and the
senior economists. In addition, the students had the
opportunity to attend lectures given by two researchers in the
field of labor economics. Daniel S. Hamermesh (University of
Texas at Austin) held a lecture series on Labor Demand, and
Gerard J. van den Berg (Free University of Amsterdam) gave an
introduction into Duration Models and Search Models.
