In memory of Paul David, who passed away in January 2023, the scientific committee of the WOEPSR announces the “2023 WOEPSR Award in Memory of Paul A. David” for a young Economist under the age of 40 or with less than 10 years from the doctoral degree.

Workshop participation is free for one presenting author per selected paper and includes catering during the event. 

We offer a limited number of travel and accommodation support grants to junior scholars (PhD students or post-doc researchers who obtained their PhD in 2020 or later) without local funds. To be considered for such grants, please state your need and your eligibility when submitting your paper.

The workshop will take place at the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition, Marstallplatz 1, 80539 Munich.

You can get to the venue in various ways, but as Munich has an excellent public transportation system that consists of trains, undergrounds, trams, and buses, we would recommend to make use of public transports. Most locations within the inner city can be conveniently reached within less than 30 minutes. 

• The underground station Odeonsplatz is located directly next to the venue and is frequented by underground lines U3, U4, U5 and U6.
• Tickets can be bought at automatic vending machines at underground and train stations or inside buses and trams.
• For specific information on public transportation schedules, please check at Munich's public transporation company MVV, Google Maps or download the mobile journey planner of MVV.

From the airport, you can take the S1 or the S8 train into the city and get off at “Marienplatz”. From there, it is a 10 minute walk. We recommend booking your flight tickets as early as possible.
