SMYE - SPRING MEETING OF YOUNG ECONOMISTS

The main objective of the Spring of Meeting Economists (SMYE) is to foster interactions in a relaxed atmosphere and to prevent the anonymity large conferences might suffer from. Therefore the number of presenters does not exceed 200. Consequently, admittance to the conference is highly competitive and entirely based on research quality as assessed through a double-blind review process with external reviewers (mostly previous SMYE participants) (acceptance rate around 30%). As a consequence, the casual atmosphere of the SMYE goes together the academic excellence of the presentation.

Every year the SMYE invites a couple of senior researchers to address the SMYE participants. We are proud that many excellent researchers, including Nobel Laureates, have participated in the SMYE!
The 26th SMYE will be held at the University of Orleans in May 2022.
