8th Spain-Japan Meeting on Economic Theory

Welcome to the 8th Spain-Japan Meeting on Economic Theory, which will be held in Ronda (Spain).

For some time now, several nodes of the "Spanish Network of Microeconomic Theory" (Granada, Málaga, and Pablo de Olavide) have had a close relationship with the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER) at Osaka University, led by Prof. Shigehiro Serizawa, and Waseda University, led by Prof. Yukihiko Funaki. The main goal of this relationship is to promote international cooperation between researchers from both countries working on similar topics, primarily within Social Choice, and to materialize this cooperation in future joint publications. 

So far, the two teams have held seven meetings. The first took place at Pablo de Olavide University in Seville in 2017 and the second at Osaka University and Waseda University (Tokyo) in 2018. These meetings have alternated between Andalusia and Japan, with the seventh edition being held in October 2023 in Japan. The next meeting will take place in November 2024 in Málaga.

At the upcoming meeting, which will be held on November 3 and 4, 2024, in Ronda, researchers from Spain and Japan will collaborate on research projects in Social Choice. The Málaga node will organize this event. More than 20 participants are expected, with encouragement for the attendance of PhD students as well as internationally recognized researchers in Social Choice and Mechanism Design.
