Special Sessions will have discussants distributed among presenters of the same session.
The deadline for the proposal of Special Sessions is February 28th, 2025. You can drop a line with your proposal to inferacinfo@gmail.com.
A Special Session will be designed for PhD students. The INFER Annual Conference encourages the engagement of PhD students with the activities of the network, offering the possibility to present (incomplete) papers with their research proposals or preliminary drafts of one of their PhD essays. The idea is to encourage discussion and receive valuable feedback from a panel of professors and experts. Authors should select the option “PhD student” during submission.

The Conference offers publication opportunities to the authors of high-quality research papers. More details will come as available. The last INFER publications include Special Issues in Macroeconomic Dynamics, World Economy, Journal of International Money and Finance, International Economics, International Economics and Economic Policy.
