CESifo Area Conference on Employment and Social Protection 2014

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together CESifo members to present and discuss their ongoing research, and to stimulate interaction and co-operation between them. All CESifo Research Network members are invited to submit their papers, which may deal with any topic within the domains of employment and social protection. Both domains are to be broadly defined, the former including, in particular, issues of the organisation of labour. The latter domain, in turn, includes not only governmental institutions of the welfare state, like social insurance, but also other non-governmental institutions of the welfare society, such as the family, or charities and informal networks, social norms and altruistic behaviour.

The keynote lecture will be delivered by Imran Rasul (University College London).
