TriECON goes to Luxembourg

On June 5, the IAAEU and the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER) jointly organised a workshop on Labour and Personnel Economics. With this event, the IAAEU continues its TriECON series of workshops. Thus far, they have all taken place at the IAAEU's premises on Campus II at Trier University. The joint IAAEU and LISER workshop is a novelty. It is the first to occur abroad, more specifically at the impressive Belval-campus of the University of Luxembourg at Esch-sur-Alzette.

The workshop featured six presentations, three by staff members of the IAAEU and three further by young researchers from LISER and the University of Luxembourg. The participants discussed the papers intensively, providing the presenters with many constructive and helpful comments for developing their analyses further.

From the IAAEU, Björn Becker talked about "Higher Education, Lower Satisfaction - Hypogamy and Traditional Norms in Japan“, Theresa Geißler asked "Who Bears the Brunt?" analysing "Tuition Fees and Educational Mismatch“, and Yue Huang, in a joint project with Laszlo Goerke, Markus Grabka and Viola Hilbert, looked at "Industrial Relations and Working from Home in Germany During the Covid-19 Pandemic“.

The joint workshop represents a further step to intensify the cooperation between the IAAEU and LISER, whose director of the Labour Market Department, Prof. Dr. Christina Gathmann, is also member of the IAAEU's Board of Trustees.
