At the 34th Annual Conference of the European Economic Association (EEA) from 26 to 30 August 2019 at the University of Manchester, participating ZEW scientists presented current research results in five lectures, discussing them in various sessions with researchers from all over Europe. The 72nd European Annual Meeting of the Econometric Society (ESEM) took place at the same time as the EEA.
The ZEW lectures dealt with topics such as the relationship between gender norms and the resulting erroneous data in surveys on the contribution of men and women to household income, the heterogeneous effects of working from home in terms of hours worked and remuneration, the conflict between stability and competition in the merging of banks, the relationship between minimum wage and automation in Germany, and the importance of non-monetary determinants in job searches.
ZEW offers comprehensive information on the spot
In addition to the presentations, ZEW hosted an information stand at the congress. Here, participants at the conference could find out about research results, cooperation possibilities, as well as career and further education opportunities at ZEW. The EEA currently has around 3,000 members. Its annual conference offers a regular platform for economic exchange and stimulating discussions. Next year, the renowned economists’ conference will take place in Rotterdam.
