Leiden University will be hosting the second edition of the New Paper Sessions for economists on 17 June 2020 (online). This initiative by the Royal Dutch Economic Association KVS aims to create a platform where economists in the Netherlands can obtain valuable feedback on their work. Starting researchers are particularly encouraged to apply.

Last year, over thirty economists from all parts of the Netherlands presented their paper during the first edition of the New Paper Sessions.

This year there will be a keynote by Johannes Spinnewijn (London School of Economics).
