The V WINTER is a one-day international workshop featuring Spanish and foreign researchers who will present their recent research in the fields of microeconomics and macroeconomics, with both theoretical and/or empirical approaches.
The primary objective of the "V WINTER" is to promote the exchange and dissemination of research findings among researchers from the University of Granada (UGR) and leading national and European research centers. This initiative is embedded within the scope of the activities associated with the Master in Economics at the University of Granada. Therefore, the execution of this event is expected to motivate students enrolled in the Master in Economics to consider the career of research as a professional option. The event also aims to enhance the international visibility of the Department of Economic Theory and Economic History and the Faculty of Economic and Business Sciences of the University of Granada.
