The five day Congress Programme includes plenary sessions, invited sessions and
presentation of contributed papers.The central topic will be The Challenge of Globalisation.
Below are a few examples of topics that would fit in that category. The list is
just illustrative and does not preclude other topics that directly or indirectly
help to cast light on the challenges faced by globalised economies. In particular,
we welcome submissions dealing with innovative microeconomic methods which help
to understand and address some of these challenges, like, for instance, randomized
experiments to evaluate the impact of social policies.
