Call for Papers: Global Economic Networks (GEN) Workshop Hamburg

Thu-Fri, July 7-8, 2022

Organizers: Peter Eppinger (Tübingen), Bohdan Kukharskyy (CUNY)

Keynote Speakers: Pol Antràs (Harvard), Vasco Carvalho (Cambridge)

This workshop aims at bringing together scholars interested in international trade, multinational firms, and global supply chains, with a particular focus on network aspects of the global economy. The workshop will take place in a seminar room inside the Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg’s new landmark, with a stunning view of the harbor.

We are committed to holding the workshop in person, subject to the hygiene measures applicable in July. Should an in-person turn out to be infeasible due to the pandemic, the workshop will be rescheduled to a later date.

Please submit complete papers in pdf format to GlobalEconNetworks@gmail.com by Monday, March 21, 2022. Participants will be notified in April.

We invite submissions from young scholars and aim for an international and diverse group. Interdisciplinary work is particularly welcome. The event will encompass a luncheon with policy makers and business practitioners to enable an exchange of ideas on current issues in international trade and supply chains.

The workshop is generously funded by the Joachim Herz Foundation, a charitable, science and education-promoting foundation based in Hamburg.

Participants will be provided with accommodation in close proximity to the venue and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Speicherstadt. Airfares for speakers can be covered in exceptional cases. In case you require travel funding, please indicate this with your submission.

Deadline: March 21, 2022
