Sydney University Microeconometrics and Public Policy Working Group
Meetings
Overview
Welcome to the Microeconometrics and Public Policy working group in the School of Economics at the University of Sydney!
The group provides an opportunity for faculty working on empirical microeconomics and public policy, broadly understood, to present early-stage and ongoing research. Other interested faculty and Ph.D. students with research relevant to the themes of the group are invited to present from time to time.
There can be more than one presenter in a given week, depending on how much material each presenter has ready. However, keeping in mind the need to allow ample time for discussion of early-stage work, it's probably best to have a single presenter plan to present for 30-40 minutes, and allow the remainder of the time for questions and discussion.
For Semester 1, 2013, please contact Russell Toth if you would like to get on the mailing list or contribute a presentation. You can also speak to Russell, Hayley Fisher, or Garry Barrett in person.
