| Description |
The Young Economists' Meeting 2017 hosted more than 40 participants from 27 universities in Europe, Kazachstan and the USA. The Best Paper Award prize was presented to Eric Melander for the paper Creating ‘Us and Them’: Racial Propaganda, Insularity and Right-Wing Ideology . We also thank our guest speakers David Masclet (University of Rennes 1) and Stepan Jurajda (CERGE-EI) for taking the time and effort to be with us. Since 2015, the Young Economists' Meeting has gained the reputation for a highly international audience and quality speakers. This year we have received more than 100 applications of which we had accepted a third. The conference attracts large numbers of Ph.D. students (typically two-thirds of participants), postdoctoral researchers and young scholars from around the world. Couple of scholars from Germany, Austria, and Hungary already attended our conference repeatedly. The program and photos from conference are published at the YEM website. |
