Workshop on Labour Economics 2027

General Information

The IAAEU and the Chair for Personnel Economics at Trier University are pleased to announce the 19th Workshop on Labour Economics, taking place on April 8-9, 2027. The Call for Papers can be found here.

Workshop on Labour Economics 2027

The workshop offers a venue for researchers to network and to exchange their most recent findings and ideas. We encourage both theoretical and empirically oriented submissions. We welcome contributions on topics and perspectives related to labour and personnel economics, including research in the fields of well-being, pay schemes and labour market institutions, as well as education, health, gender or migration economics. We particularly encourage PhD students to submit their research. A time slot of up to 35 minutes is allotted for each presentation. We aim to assign senior workshop participants as discussants to papers presented by PhD students.

There will be a special session on counterfactual impact evaluation jointly organised with the Competence Centre on Microeconomic Evaluation (CC-ME) of the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. While the use of register data is seen as beneficial, it is not mandatory. To have their papers considered for this session, researchers should explicitly state their interest when submitting.

Travel

How to reach the conference venue:

Trier University is located uphill from the historic city centre and is divided into two campuses. Campus II, where the IAAEU is located, is a ten-minute walk from Campus I. There are several ways to reach the conference venue: You can take a bus that stops at the bus stops "Behringstraße" or "Universität Campus 2" near the conference venue. These stops are served by bus 4, which stops at some of the most important places in Trier (e.g. train station and Porta Nigra), as well as bus 14 (which does not go via the train station).

Another alternative to reach the campus is bus 3 (or 13). You can get off at the stop "Kohlenstraße" and walk for 10 minutes toward Campus II.

You can schedule your bus trip via: VRT Busses
