The Applied Young Economist Webinar (AYEW), the highly successful virtual platform designed for early-career researchers in Economics, is seeking high-quality empirical research papers for presentation in 2021.
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. In 2020, the AYEW successfully held more than 50 webinars, attracting high-quality research from emerging scholars and 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 below.
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 after submission.
