PEDL Early-Career Researchers Workshop 2026

PEDL will hold a morning workshop for early-career researchers on September 10, 2026, as part of the “IGC/EGC Firms, Trade, and Development” conference on September 10-11. Both events will take place in person, at Yale University in New Haven, CT, USA.  

The workshop is open to junior researchers who have already obtained their PhD and do not yet have tenure (or are within 8 years of their PhD, if not in a tenure-track position). The theme is the same as the “Firm, Trade, and Development” conference, and participants in the workshop were also invited to attend the main conference.
