YEC 2023: Funding the Welfare State and Social Infrastructure

The 12^th Young Economists Conference brought students and early career researchers from Austria and all over the world to Linz, Upper Austria, from October 6 through October 7. We want to thank all participants, our outstanding keynote speakers Professor Emma Dowling and Professor Jakob Kapeller as well as all organizing and cooperating institutions for the successful conference.

This year’s Eduard März Award, sponsored by the Vienna Chamber of Labor, went to Tatjana Neuhuber and Antonia Schneider for their paper “Determinants of inequality and the specific role of public social expenditure: An investigation across scales in Austria”.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to YEC 2024 in Vienna!
