European Winter Meeting, Budapest, November 12-13, 2009
The European Winter Meetings of the Econometric Society started in the 1950s with the aim of bringing together the most promising young European researchers with a group of senior academics representing different European regions and fields of specialization. Many of today's leading European economists started their careers by presenting their first major paper at one of these Meetings.
In 2001, the European Standing Committee of the Econometric Society decided to introduce a change in the format of the Meetings, so as to focus the invitations on PhD students close to finishing their theses.
MISSION STATEMENT
The general aim of the Meetings is to promote the quality of the work done by young European researchers in economics and econometrics. The specific aim is to provide a better platform for top European PhD's candidates in the international job market.
ORGANIZATION
The Meetings take place during two full days in late October or early November. About 18 participants are invited to present their work and to discuss the work of the other participants. Eight senior economists – the regional consultants - also attend the Meetings, where they provide comments and try to foster interaction across research fields. Each year, one of the consultants acts as Local Organiser and Programme Chair.
SELECTION PROCESS
In the summer, senior members of the Econometric Society may propose candidates to the consultant of their region. Candidates are PhD students, or recent PhD graduates from European universities, going on the job market. Submissions include a copy of the candidate’s job market paper and a message of introduction which should emphasize the qualities of the candidate and, if the candidate's job market paper is coauthored, should make it clear that the candidate's contribution to the paper is essential. Institutions should as much as possible coordinate their submissions, in particular by ranking candidates who operate in the same field. The selection of participants proceeds in two stages. In the first stage, each consultant selects one participant from his/her region and proposes a shortlist of candidates. In the second stage, the remaining ten participants are elected from these shortlists.
