Young Economists Symposium (YES)
WHAT IS YES?
The Young Economists Symposium (YES) is an annual student-run conference for Economics PhD students. Known in the past as EconCon, it is sponsored by a group of five East Coast schools – Columbia, NYU, UPenn, Princeton and Yale. There will be two days of academic talks and discussions as well as several social events. Its purpose is to give students an opportunity to present their work to a diverse and unfamiliar audience of students from other schools and receive feedback.
This year’s conference will take place on August 9th and 10th at New York University. We hope the conference will be particularly appealing to those looking to go on the job market next year, but we welcome submissions from students at all stages of research who would benefit from presenting their work. Past presenters have gone on to tenure-track economics jobs at Harvard, Chicago, Yale, NYU, Michigan, Duke, Maryland, and many others. Last year we received about 150 submissions, and the best 30 papers were selected for presentation by a panel of PhD students.
