About the Workshop

We are pleased to announce the 8th Potsdam PhD Workshop in Empirical Economics. The aim of the workshop is to give talented young researchers the opportunity to present and discuss their research. The workshop will be accompanied by a lecture series on recent developments of Difference-in-Differences and Two-Way Fixed Effects Estimators held by Clément de Chaisemartin. He will review a fast-growing literature that documents issues of the standard estimators, and that proposes more robust alternatives. Oriana Bandiera will give a special keynote lecture within the welcome event for the new cohort of BSE PhD students.
