The event is set to take place from 22-23 May, 2025, in Madrid, and is jointly organised by King’s College London, the Ramón Areces Foundation, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

Dr Cevat Giray Aksoy and Professor Pierre-Louis Vezina, from the Department of Political Economy at King's, are part of the event organising committee.

The workshop will provide a platform for researchers and policymakers to discuss new research and to identify areas where further academic and policy-oriented work is needed. Both theoretical and empirical contributions are welcome. There will be a dedicated discussant for each paper, as well as an open floor discussion.

The workshop will feature a keynote speech by Leah Boustan (Princeton University) and Dean Yang (University of Michigan).
