17th Workshop on Labour Economics, April 03 - 04, 2025

The workshop offers a venue for researchers to network and to exchange their most recent findings and ideas. We encourage both theoretical and empirically oriented submissions. We welcome contributions on topics and perspectives related to labour and personnel economics, including research in the fields of well-being, pay schemes and labour market institutions, as well as education, health or household economics. We particularly encourage PhD students to submit their research. A time slot of up to 45 minutes is allotted for each presentation. We aim to assign senior workshop participants as discussants to papers presented by PhD students.

We are happy to announce that this year’s keynote presentation on “Sick Leave” will be held by Nicolas Ziebarth (ZEW/ University of Mannheim).

There will be a special session on counterfactual impact evaluation jointly organised with the Competence Centre on Microeconomic Evaluation (CC-ME) of the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. While the use of register data is seen as beneficial, it is not mandatory. To have their papers considered for this session, researchers should explicitly state their interest when submitting.

Interested researchers are invited to submit electronic versions of extended abstracts or full papers (preferred) no later than January 08th, 2025, here or via mail to wle[at]iaaeu.de. If accepted, full papers must be submitted by March 10th, 2025. A notification of acceptance for presentation will be sent by the beginning of February 2025.

We charge a conference fee of 120 EUR to all participants, covering the costs of lunches, the social event, and the conference dinner.
