Statement on a joint European Economics Job Market

A joint statement from the European Economic Association (EEA), the Royal Economic Society (RES), and the Asociación Española de Economía (AEE)-Spanish Economic Association concerning the European Economics Job Market

The EEA, RES and AEE are committed to providing a platform to bring together institutions and postgraduate economic students seeking to develop a career in economics. We are therefore pleased to announce a new partnership to hold a joint European Economics Job Market from 2019.

The first joint European Economics Job Market will be held in Rotterdam in December 2019, co-sponsored by EEA, RES and AEE. This meeting will provide a forum for postgraduates to be interviewed by recruiting institutions from across Europe. The three associations hope to continue this partnership in future years, with the December 2020 meeting to be held in Nottingham, UK.

This joint meeting will build on and supersede the individual job markets that the three associations are organising in 2018. The inaugural European Job Market sponsored by the EEA took place in Naples on 6-7 December 2018, the AEE Job Market was held in Madrid 13-15 December 2018, and the final RES PhD Meeting and Job Market in its current form will take place on 18-19 December 2018 at Westminster Business School, London.

All three associations believe that a pan-European job market will expand and enhance the opportunities for both participating candidates and institutions.

A job market for PhD economists has existed in Spain since 1984 and over years it attracted students and institutions beyond Spain. The Asociación Española de Economía (AEE)-Spanish Economic Association is very happy to join the EEA and RES to make a pan-European job market a reality.

 A statement from the Asociación Española de Economía (AEE)-Spanish Economic Association concerning the European Economics Job Market and future Simposios

The first joint European Economics Job Market will be held in Rotterdam in December 2019, co-sponsored by European Economic Association (EEA), Royal Economic Society (RES) and AEE. We are very happy to join the EEA and RES to make a pan-European job market a reality.

The AEE will continue to hold its annual meetings (the Simposio) in December and, as in the past, the Simposio will continue to provide a vibrant venue for both researchers and PhD students to present their work.

Our next meeting is in Alicante in December 12-14, 2019. Mark your calendars!

In the Simposios, we will have both “regular” and “student” sessions. The “student” sessions will replace “job market” sessions of past Simposios and provide a platform for PhD students in different stages of their studies to present their works and get feedback.
