The conference is organised jointly by the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) and Nova School of Business and Economics (Nova SBE). It will take place at Nova SBE, in Lisbon, Portugal from 23-24 April 2025. 

We now invite submissions from interested researchers, including non-CEPR members, on any topic within the area of Development Economics.

Funding
The sponsoring institutions can cover accommodation and travel expenses according to the CEPR Travel Guidelines for presenters. However, funding is limited and we encourage participants who have research funds available to use their own funds so that resources can be preferentially channeled to junior participants. If you require funding, please make sure to indicate this when submitting your paper. We will not be able to fund speakers who have not previously requested it.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: The author submitting the paper is expected to attend the conference for the entire duration and to present. It will not be possible to nominate a co-author to present at a later date.

Submit your paper online by Sunday 24 November 2024. 

  • Only full drafts of papers will be considered.
