During the past 25 years, LEW has become the leading workshop for labour economics in the Oceania region. The workshop is a place for researchers to present cutting edge research in labour economics with an emphasis on the application of econometric methods. Over the course of its existence, the workshop has managed to remain 'boutique', with a single stream of presentations supported by high-quality discussants. Submissions in labour economics, and applied economics more broadly, are encouraged.
