About this edition
Next fall the Economics Department at Indiana University Bloomington will host the XXXIII annual Empirical Investigations in International Trade conference. At this conference, economists specializing in empirical international trade will present their current research. The goal of this conference is to promote the awareness of ongoing research in the area. It is also our hope that by bringing together people of similar interests, increased communication of ideas and future directions for the general research area will be promoted.
Previous editions of the conference have included researchers at many different stages in their careers. The atmosphere is informal and lively, characterized by significant audience participation. We do not intend to publish the papers.
Organizers
Format
The conference will begin at 9am Friday, and will continue through noon on Sunday. We anticipate having a total of 15 presentations, 6 on Friday, 6 on Saturday, and 3 more on Sunday morning. Each session will be an hour long, with 40 minutes going to the presentation, 10 minutes to the discussant, and the remaining time to be used for open discussion.
Graduate Student Competition
The graduate student paper competition is a longstanding EIIT tradition. Graduate students are strongly encouraged to submit their work. From the papers submitted, we will select at least one for inclusion on the program. We expect to be able to cover travel costs and accommodation for the competition winner. Learn more about the competition and see past winners on the graduate student competition page.
