The 11th annual Warwick Economics PhD Conference 

Wednesday 28 Jun 2023

The 11th edition of the Warwick Economics PhD Conference was held between 6th-8th June 2023 at the new Faculty of Arts Building. The event was organised by PhD students with the help of the administrative team.

This year, the PhD Conference received over 450 applications from graduate students within leading research institutions from across the world. A scientific review committee, consisting of Warwick PhD students, helped in the process of selecting 25 papers from this pool of high-quality applications. Of the selected 25 papers, 18 were presented in seminar presentations, and 7 in poster presentations.

The conference continued for an additional day this year, to allow participants from all over the world to reach the University campus more easily and to have additional networking opportunities throughout the event.

Over the three days, conference delegates and speakers engaged in intellectually stimulating presentations delivered by students from:

  • Ecole Polytechnique
  • Tilburg University
  • Toulouse School of Economics
  • University of St.Gallen
  • Boston College
  • Brown University
  • Stanford University
  • UC Berkeley
  • University of California Los Angeles (UCLA)
  • University of Chicago
  • University of Rome "Tor Vergata"
  • University of Michigan
  • London School of Economics
  • Queen Mary University of London
  • University of Essex
  • University of Nottingham
  • University of Warwick
  • University of Birmingham
  • University of Oxford
  • Sciences Po
  • LMU Munich
  • Queen Mary University of London
  • Collegio Carlo Alberto

The papers presented on each day covered a broad range of topics and fields:

Day 1

Political Economy & Public Economics

Macroeconomics & Monetary Economics

Day 2

Development Economics

International & Urban Economics

Microeconomics

Poster session

Day 3

Labour Economics

Each 20-minute seminar presentation was followed by a discussion and feedback from the students and faculty members in the audience. In addition to the plenary presentations, there were five-minute flash presentation sessions where researchers delivered the key message of their paper in a concise and engaging manner, which was followed by a poster session.

Overall, the event was a remarkable success. It provided a platform for graduate students from different institutions to showcase their work, while serving as a terrific opportunity for Warwick students to engage in world-leading research. The participants received valuable feedback on their projects, formed professional networks and, most importantly, enjoyed their time at our campus with fellow PhD students. The organising team looks forward to the next edition of the conference in 2024.
