The RIEF network organizes a yearly doctoral meeting which offers the opportunity for a limited number of PhD candidates or young PhDs to present their research. Each selected paper will be discussed by an active senior researcher in the field. Previous meetings took place in prestigious Universities such as Aix-Marseille, Munich, Lille, the European University Institute in Florence, Zürich, Paris I, Bocconi, Nice, Kiel or Barcelona.

The conference will take place in a hybrid format (i.e. some presentations in person and some online).
 

This year, the RIEF is pleased to welcome Liliana Varela (Department of Finance – London School of Economics and CEPR) and Thierry Mayer (Department of Economics - Sciences Po, Paris and CEPR) as keynote speakers.
 

PhDs candidates and young PhDs (still on the job market) should submit their papers (exclusively in English) in electronic format (pdf) to:
 

by May 15, 2021 at the latest. Papers are refereed and selected by RIEF board members (complete list can be found here: http://sites.google.com/site/riefnetwork).

To be eligible, authors and co-authors should be PhD students at the time of papers’ submission.
