7th IZA European Summer School in Labor Economics - 2004
|
 |
|
| Buch/Ammersee, April 19-25, 2004 |
| |
IZA hosted the 7th European Summer School in Labor Economics, which took place April 19-25, 2004, at the conference center of Deutsche Post 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. This year, 37 students attended the event. Sixteen nationalities were represented, creating a very colorful and productive international environment.
Lecturers for the Seventh Summer School were Armin Falk (IZA and University of Bonn) and Christian Belzil (Centre National de Recherche Scientifique (GATE), IZA and Concordia University). Falk's lectures concentrated on "Behavioral Economics", whereas Belzil taught on "Empirical Labor Market Models with Dynamic Self-Selection: Applications to Wage Regression Functions, Human Capital Accumulation Models and Personnel Economics". Peter Jensen, member of the IZA Summer School Advisory Committee in representation of the European Society for Population Economics, participated in the event.
Each student presented their work either giving a talk or hosting a poster session. Twelve papers were presented in formal sessions, with each paper presentation being chaired by one student and discussed by two others. As such, those students not giving a formal presentation were asked to either chair or discuss a paper. In a final session on "How to improve presentations: video-based feedback" a selection of moments was presented and discussed.
