Applied Economics Workshop
AEW is a monthly applied economics workshop hosted by several Asian research universities and institutes. All seminars are on Thursdays from 9:30-11:30 am or 4:00-6:00 pm Tokyo Time (8:30-10:30 am or 3:00-5:00 pm for others, including Taipei, Hong Kong, and Singapore) to accommodate different time zones.
The typical AEW audiences include faculty members and Ph.D. students from the sponsoring institutes (UTokyo, NTU Taiwan, NUS, HKUST, Academia Sinica, HKU, Hitotsubashi, and NTU Singapore). About 1/5 of the audience is from other places. All audiences must register ahead of time. Given that AEW operates on the WebEx platform, it is crucial for speakers to properly configure their computers to facilitate seamless slide sharing and optimize audio settings to ensure clear communication and engagement with the audience.
After the keynote seminar (75 minutes, including Q&A), the presenter of the AEW discussion paper pre-selected by the keynote speaker will talk for 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of open-floor discussion. We are flexible about the format in which the keynote speaker feels comfortable providing feedback. Some keynote speakers made a formal discussion voluntarily. Others joined the audience to comment informally.
The faculty and Ph.D. candidates of the sponsoring institutes can sign up for a 20-min 1-1 meeting with the keynote speaker. The number of 1–1 meetings ranges between 3 and 11, determined by demand and supply. In case of excess demand, we prioritize the seats for full-time junior faculty and Ph.D. candidates on the job market who submit a paper to the AEW discussion session.
