Call for papers

The European Development Research Network (EUDN) PhD Workshop aims at giving doctoral students in Development Economics an opportunity to present their papers in an informal environment, to engage around recent and ongoing research in different subfields of development economics and to strengthen their professional networks. This year, the workshop will be held at CERDI (Clermont-Ferrand, France).

Papers accepted for presentation will be assigned to a discussant, and there will be ample time for discussion with attending senior EUDN members, faculty, researchers, and local PhD students. Presenters might be asked to discuss another paper.

Contributions from all sub-fields of development economics are welcome.

Keynote speaker: Roberta Ziparo (AMSE and EUDN)
