DTMC COVID-19 Workshop
2020.09.25 |
| Date | Thu 10 Dec — Fri 11 Dec |
| Time | 11:00 — 16:15 |
| Location | Aarhus, Denmark |
The workshop is public. It has an emphasis on understanding how the economics of search and matching models can be useful for understanding economic and virological aspects of the COVID-19 epidemic.
Therefore, the workshop has an emphasis on the development of new statistical measurements as well as the development of new search and matching models which incorporate policy developments and challenges created by the epidemic. In doing so, the workshop seeks to analyze the welfare impact of the epidemic on individual households and to evaluate related public policy changes and proposals.
The workshop will start Thursday 10 December at 11.00 and end at 16.15 on Friday 11 December.
On Thursday 10 December we will have the workshop dinner.
