'Informal' Micro/Labor Workshop
In order to foster early stages of research, we have developed a workshop for those interested in micro topics. This workshop is primarily for the presentation of early stages of research to get feedback from colleagues. Therefore, the style is fairly informal and perfect for grad students to present initial findings of their dissertation research. Workshops are held from 12:30-1:30pm on Wednesdays (typically) in the Economics seminar room. Those interested in attending or presenting should contact Prof. John Heywood.
