Audience The 6th Potsdam PhD Workshop in Empirical Economics is open to around 20 doctoral students and post doctorates within two years after dissertation. Participants will be given the opportunity to present and discuss their own research in a poster session. We encourage all young researchers interested in Empirical Economics to apply.
