Workshop In Economics Research (WiER)
WiER was set up to create a community where scholars from all fields in economics would interact, brainstorm ideas, and explore potential collaborative work. This is conceived to be an annual workshop to be held in December every year. The workshop is designed to accommodate fewer speakers with longer time slots and ample discussion time for each presentation.
The WiER for 2017 was held on December 22. Click here for schedule 2017.
