Second "Villa Mondragone Workshop in Economic Theory and Econometrics"

Frascati (Rome), July 8-10, 2002


The workshop is organized jointly by the Faculty of Economics, "Tor
Vergata" University, and AIDEI. It is designed to stimulate the
interaction between senior economists and young researchers -
Post-Doctoral students and Doctoral students well ahead in their
dissertation - working on a variety of economic issues, both theoretical
and empirical. The specific purpose of the workshop is to offer young
researchers advice and constructive criticism from more senior scholars.


Program

The workshop  will allow a selected group of young researchers to
receive intense feedback on their work from senior economists. Young
researchers will present their work to the other workshop participants,
with a senior economist acting as a discussant (approximately one hour
for each work session). Invited lectures will open and close the
workshop. The workshop is residential, and both young and senior
researchers are expected to participate to all sessions. The working
language is English.
