The aim of the workshop is to provide PhD students, Postdocs, and Assistant Professors both from within CEFAU and the entire department  with a friendly forum to share their research (ideas, ongoing, and completed work) and receive constructive feedback. While especially non-tenured faculty is encouraged to present, everyone is welcome to attend the workshop.

Programme

Keynote speakers:

• Anna Salomons, Tilburg University
• Guy Michaels, London School of Economics

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers working on issues in automation and labor markets. Focus will be on scientific exchange, facilitating collaborative research and contacts among researchers, as well as offering junior researchers an opportunity to present their work and establish closer contacts among researchers based in Denmark and international researchers in the field.

Papers should be submitted electronically by 1 May 2025 to Malene Vindfeldt Skals (malska@econ.au.dk) in PDF format only; decisions will be made on 15 May. The only requirement in terms of topics is that papers concern automation and labor markets, broadly defined. Please also indicate whether you would accept to be a discussant. 

The core program of the workshop will run on both Thursday and Friday at the main campus of Aarhus University. We expect that participants stay during the whole core program. The organizers cover all conference costs, including a dinner at restaurant Syvni13 on 21 August and three nights stay from 20-23 August at hotel Scandic City Aarhus in Aarhus city centre.
