Prior to the main conference on September 27th and 28th, we will hold the Pre-Conference Graduate Workshop. The conference participants invited from the world’s leading universities will give comments on each graduate student’s presentation (for the conference participants, please see the back). We are particularly interested in proposals concerning “industry,” broadly conceived, but we welcome any research themes related to Economics and Business.
