8th Austrian Labor Economics Workshop 2024

The 8th Austrian Labor Economics Workshop 2024 will take place at the IHS in Vienna.

The aim is to expand the forum for discussing current research work with colleagues in the field of labor market economics. We want to bring together a broad spectrum of empirical and theoretical approaches from researchers. The focus is on topics related to labor markets, social policy, income distribution, migration, education, health, or gender economics. The workshop provides space for an open and collegial discussion and welcomes preliminary or controversial research.
