IZA aims at encouraging new research at the intersection of behavioral and labor economics.

Contributions from all areas and applications of behavioral and labor economics are welcome, including empirical and theoretical research.
The workshop targets current PhD students and early-career researchers who have graduated in or after 2024 and work as postdocs and assistant professors or equivalent.
