ZEW will once again be attending the ASSA Annual Meeting held in the United States in 2018. The event, which this year will take place from 5 to 7 January in Philadelphia, is set to welcome over 13,000 participants, making it the most important conference in the world for economists. The conference is jointly organised by the American Economic Association (AEA) and the Allied Social Sciences Association (ASSA).

The researchers from ZEW will use the conference to present and discuss their research findings during the various sessions. They will also have ample opportunity to network with fellow economists from around the world. ZEW will be running an information stand where conference participants can find a wealth of information on the institute, as well as opportunities to collaborate on projects or complete research visits.
