We are pleased to invite you to attend the 24th annual Conference
of the European Association of Labour Economists to be held in Bonn,
Germany, on 20-22 September 2012. This is only the second time for the EALE Conference to
visit Germany. Hosted by
IZA, the
conference will include invited lectures, topic-related invited sessions,
parallel sessions and poster sessions. The
conference will allow for informal research collaboration and, not
least, some time to enjoy the beautiful Bonn area along the river Rhine.
We are looking forward to welcome you in Bonn!
Invited lectures:
David Autor
Sandra Black
Enrico Moretti
EALE and IZA invite all labor economists to submit papers
for presentation at the EALE Conference in Bonn.

Type of presentations
at
EALE conferences
There are different ways to present research output at a conference. The
usual way is through presentations in a parallel session in which 3 to 4
researchers talk about their work using a presentation program such as
PowerPoint. At the end of the presentation there is time for questions.
In a poster session the researcher presents information through a
poster. Along with his fellow presenters, the researcher waits for
passing colleagues to briefly present their work and answer questions.
There are pros and cons to each format. In a parallel session the size
of the audience is limited. In a poster session the presenter has to
tell his/her story many times, but the potential audience is
substantially larger and the interaction between presenter and audience
can be more intense.
At EALE
conferences both formats are used and papers have the same status
irrespective of the format. Papers presented in a poster session can be
submitted to the special conference issue of Labour Economics and
poster presenters can be rewarded with the Young Labour Economists' Prize
for the best paper at the conference. The council of EALE wants to
stimulate poster sessions by awarding a Prize for the best poster,
starting from the 2012 conference in Bonn.
