About the Workshop
We are pleased to announce the 4th Potsdam PhD Workshop in Empirical Economics. This year’s workshop is organized as a Summer School with a special focus on “Effects and Evaluation of Minimum Wages”. It is part of the Leibniz research project EVA-MIN (see below). The aim of the lectures is to discuss theoretical effects, evaluation approaches, and existing empirical evidence on minimum wages. Talented and interested young researchers will have the opportunity to present and discuss their own research in Empirical Economics (related to minimum wages or any other empirical topic) in poster sessions.

About the EVA-MIN Project
The Leibniz research project EVA-MIN is jointly conducted by SOEP, IAB Nuremberg, and University of Potsdam and aims to comprehensively evaluate the effects of the 2015 minimum wage introduction in Germany. As part of the project, the SOEP and IAB data infrastructure will be extended and made available for use by interested researchers worldwide. Workshop participants will be introduced to the new EVA-MIN data infrastructure and its access possibilities in order to stimulate future research. More information on EVA-MIN can be found here: eva-min.soep.de.
