We are pleased to announce that the 2024 Econometric Society European Meetings (ESEM2024) hosted by the Erasmus School of Economics is now accepting papers.

Each person may submit only one paper and present only one paper. However, each person is allowed to co-author multiple papers submitted to the conference. The same paper CANNOT be submitted to both the EEA and the ES sessions. The programme committees will remove the paper from one of the associations without consultation with the submitter. The programme committees CANNOT accept submissions of papers presented in any previous in-person EEA-ESEM congresses. At least one author of each paper must be a member of the Econometric Society and the submitter is the presumed presenter. To join or renew a membership, please click here.

To submit your paper, please click here to access Congress Creator.
NOTE: If you have a Congress Creator profile already, please use the log in under that account. Under SUBMIT A PAPER, please choose button ESEM 2024 to submit to ES and EEA 2024 to submit your paper to EEA.

The ESEM conference will run concurrently with the European Economic Association (EEA) meeting that will be held in the same location.

Submitting Full Sessions
The EEA and the ES allow submitters to submit full sessions. Before you can submit a session, you must first ensure that each paper in your proposed session has already been submitted individually, and thus has a paper ID number. Full information on this can be found under "Submit a Session" when you are logged in to your Congress Creator profile. Submitting a full session does not guarantee that all papers in a session will be accepted. If a session is not accepted in full, the Programme Chairs reserve the right to reassign papers. Information on submitting full sessions can be found on the dashboard when you submit a paper.

Note: All papers submitted in sessions must be submitted to the same association. There can be no mix of papers submitted to EEA and ESEM.

Awards for the best applied papers by young researchers
Two prizes will be awarded for the best papers in applied economics (broadly taken to include applied theory, empirical economics, experimental economics, and computational economics, including both micro and macro approaches) presented by young researchers within 10 years of their PhD, i.e. with PhD awarded not earlier than January 1, 2014. When submitting papers, presenters who want to be considered for a prize will have to click a box to indicate their interest and to certify that they are eligible.

Women In Economics (WinE) Mentoring Retreat: The Econometric Society will once again join forces with the WinE Committee of the European Economic Association in the organization of this mentoring retreat. Co- chairs are Paula Bustos (EEA WinE Committee Chair) and Caterina Calsamiglia (ES representative).

The retreat will begin at around 2pm on Sunday, August 25, and conclude at lunchtime on Monday, August 26, just before the start of EEA-ESEM 2024. All details will be given out on acceptance of application. For more information on the event and on how to apply, click here.
