The Ifo Institute, Dresden Branch, and the Technische Universität Braunschweig are pleased to announce the 6th Ifo Dresden Workshop on Regional Economics. The workshop aims at facilitating the networking of young scientists and at promoting the exchange of their latest research across the range of regional economics, persistency in regional inequality, regional structural change and growth-enhancing regional policies. Policy relevant contributions, either theoretical or applied, are highly welcome. We particularly encourage PhD students and postdoctoral researchers/ Junior Professors to submit their latest research.
