Lunch Time Meetings in Applied Economics

The lunch-time meetings are an open space to discuss both current research problems/findings and interesting papers with our colleagues. Talks and discussions can cover all topics in economics involving data work, and the atmosphere is all about curiosity, exchange, and constructive feedback. We keep preparation light so that the focus stays on helpful discussions and critical insights from colleagues. For subject-specific feedback, reach out to the colleagues in your research group so they can join the audience.

For new research ideas a short 30-minutes slot is perfect for getting early feedback on quality and feasibility—slides are optional. 

Meetings take place on Tuesdays over lunchtime (12-13). 
For contributions please contact Elias Balayan or Julia Spornberger.
