Virtual Seminars in Economic Theory

Thursdays, 4 pm UK time

The Virtual Seminars in Economic Theory provide a platform for scholars to present their unpublished work to a broad academic audience in the UK and abroad. They are organised by the team behind the Makris Symposium in Economic Theory (MSET), which has taken place annually since 2013.

Each seminar starts at 4:00 pm UK time (check your time zone) and lasts 1:15 h, with a 60 min presentation and 15 min of Q&A with the audience. We endeavour to invite relevant experts as panellists and encourage co-authors to attend the talk.

Registration

The Virtual Seminars in Economic Theory are open to any interested economist worldwide. 

To view the talk in Zoom, join our mailing list here.  We will send out a weekly email with details about that week's seminar and joining instructions to all registered users.  With the speakers' permission, we also upload the talks to our YouTube Channel.
