We are excited to announce that the Applied Young Economist Webinar (AYEW), the highly successful virtual platform designed for early-career researchers in Economics, is now seeking high-quality empirical research papers for presentation starting in March 2023.
The webinar is open to early-career economists, including PhD candidates and Post-Doctoral Researchers, located across the world. Presentations take place across two major time zones – Australasia/ US West Coast and Europe/US East Coast.
This will be the sixth season of the AYEW which, since 2020, has enabled over 120 emerging scholars to share their high-quality research with a geographically diverse audience. The AYEW is facilitated by Monash University’s SoDa Laboratories and the Monash Warwick Alliance. More information on the AYEW, including the past schedule, can be found here.
Preference will be given to empirical papers in the areas of political economy and economic development. We particularly encourage papers
using alternative data in all shapes and forms, including satellite imagery, digitised textual sources, internet activity and latency, search terms and trends, social media, news, and more.
All submissions will be subjected to a selection process, and candidates will be notified of the outcome within a few weeks of submission. The deadline for submission is Sunday, 12 February 2023.
If you are a Post-Doctoral Researcher or an advanced PhD Candidate, please submit your paper by emailing ayew2023submission@gmail.com.
In your email, please indicate whether you prefer to be considered for the European edition, Australian edition, or both. We will do our best to honor these preferences, but the final decision will also depend on the number of submissions, people’s availability, and time zone considerations.
