RUESeminar

The Regional and Urban Economic Seminar (RUES) of the Paris School of Economics is co-organized by Laurent Gobillon (PSE) and Miren Lafourcade (Université Paris-Saclay and PSE).

The RUES is a quarterly, small-scale but intellectually vibrant workshop, designed to foster academic exchange among regional and urban economists from diverse backgrounds. Each session features three keynotes, all accompanied by formal discussions. The day concludes with a convivial dinner and informal networking opportunities—including pre-dinner drinks—offering ample time for dialogue and idea-sharing in a relaxed setting. 

The RUES has a strong international profile, having welcomed keynote speakers from international institutions such as Princeton University, University of California Berkeley, Columbia University, Carnegie Mellon University, Oxford University, University of Bristol, London School of Economics, Imperial College London, Syracuse University, VU University Amsterdam, CEMFI-Madrid, Queen Mary University London, World Bank, George Washington University, Duke University, Brown University, University of Geneva, Stockholm University, University of Lausanne, University of Barcelona, University of Toronto, UQAM, UCLA, University of Lausanne, Erasmus University Rotterdam, University of Warwick, Dartmouth College, UC Irvine, Humboldt University, and many others.
