As in the previous USA editions (Chicago and Princeton), the 1st european edition of this workshop aims to bring together a small group of junior researchers to discuss topics in spatial and urban economics broadly defined in an informal setting. In this edition we particularly aim to connect scholars working on different sides of the Atlantic.

Our warmest thanks to the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) for their invaluable assistance in helping us bring this meeting together. We also gratefully acknowledge the financial support of our partnership with the Banque de France, and of the European Research Council (ERC).

A dinner is organised on Thursday evening (restaurant to be confirmed).
Coffee and lunch will be provided on site.
