Conference Call for Papers
Submission deadline – 6pm (GMT), Friday 3 March 2017
CEPR/IGC Conference on
Labour Markets in Developing Countries
London, 4-5 May 2017
We are inviting you to submit a paper proposal or express interest in attending the 2017 CEPR/IGC Conference on Labour Market in Developing Countries. The symposium will take place on 4-5 May 2017, and it is hosted by the London School of Economics (UK).
The conference features a keynote talk by Costas Meghir, Yale University and CEPR.
The goal of the conference is to provide a forum for high-quality work in labour/development economics and to bring together economists in the field from across Europe as well as key researchers from outside the region. Paper proposals are invited in any area of labour economics, with applications to developing countries.
The conference will bring together around 40 economists for a period of two days. To foster the desired interaction we ask that participants stay for the entire duration of the symposium. The programme will start on Thursday morning (4th) and end on Friday afternoon (5th).
Funding
Travel and accommodation expenses will be covered according to CEPR guidelines. http://www.cepr.org/sites/default/files/events/CEPR%20TRVL%20GUIDELINES%202015.pdf
If you could contribute to the cost of your attendance from a research grant at your disposal, this would free up funds for other participants and keynote speaker(s).

Meals taken during the conference will be covered for all participants.
