Seminar series 4: Research models and methods in economics 2024/2025

The aim of this disciplinary seminar is to present the most recent work by LARSH economists, but also to invite outside colleagues with recognized expertise in LARSH research areas.

Although the seminar is disciplinary, it is open to other LARSH members and to students in the 2nd year of the MEET pathway of the GTDL master's degree. In particular, it provides an opportunity to explore, among other topics, transport economics, economic growth, environmental economics, tourism economics, experimental economics, public policy and the history of economic thought.
