Call for Papers: Workshop in Labor Economics: Wages, Employment and Inequality (WEI 2025)

Wages, Employment and Inequality III in Helsinki 21 – 22 August 2025

We organized a first workshop on “core” labor market topics in Helsinki in 2017 and we perceived it as a great success. After some delay, we restarted the workshop under the label Wages, Employment and Inequality (or WEI) in 2023. The new workshop was an even greater success – we had to reject so many excellent submissions that we immediately decided to continue the tradition. So, on popular demand, we now announce the launch of the third workshop in our series!

This is a preliminary call for papers. We will update with the exact venue and other information. Our aim is to be able to fund travel within Europe, and accommodation.

The workshop will be held in central Helsinki on August 21 and 22, 2025. We are honoured to have two excellent keynotes speakers: Magne Mogstad, University of Chicago and Stephen Machin, London School of Economics and Political Science.

We aim to combine a few long presentations with a session of shorter (flash) presentations alongside the two keynote addresses. We will have an open invitation for submissions on “core” labor issues related to wages, employment and inequality for consideration at the workshop.

Submit your paper to fit.events@tuni.fi by March 30th.
