Wang Yanan Institute for Studies in Economics (WISE), Xiamen University, Xiamen, China

We are happy to announce the 4th International Symposium on Contemporary Labor Economics at the Wang Yanan Institute for Studies in Economics (WISE), Xiamen University, China. We invite submissions on issues related to discrimination, income and education mobility, insurance, and across generations, job transitions, migration, and poverty. In light of the ongoing global financial crisis, studies on the impacts on labor market issues are particularly welcome.

We have enjoyed a great success in this symposium since its first launch in 2006. Leading researchers, such as Patricia Anderson, Kausshik Basu, Andrew Chesher, Barry Chiswick, Gary Fields, Richard Freeman, Robert Gregory, Cheng Hsiao, George Jakubson, Jerry Hausman, Bertil Holmlund, Athar Hussain, Larry Kahn, John Kennan, Peter Kuhn, Costas Meghir, Xing Meng, Craig Riddell, Steve Stern, Klaus Zimmerman, have been our invited speakers in the past conferences. It has become a leading conference on labor economics in China that brings together overseas and Chinese researchers to promote research of labor economics and to bring current Chinese labor market issues to the attention of overseas researchers. For details about our previous conferences in this series, please check http://www.wise.xmu.edu.cn/Labor2009.

Researchers interested in participating should submit a paper or extended abstract through our online application form at http://www.wise.xmu.edu.cn/Activity/Labor2009 , by September 15, 2009. Decisions of acceptance or rejection will be announced by September 30, 2009.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Any inquiry should be directed to Professor Hau CHYI (hauchyi@gmail.com). For logistic affairs, please contact Ms Iris ZHANG (email: zhanghong@xmu.edu.cn).

Xiamen University was founded in 1921 by Mr. Tan Kah-Kee, a well-known oversea Chinese patriot. The university is located on the resort-like island of Xiamen, which has a reputation of "Garden over the Sea" and has direct flights to many major cities in Asia. Thanks to the contribution and influence of the late president, Professor Wang Yanan, a prominent economist who first translated Adam Smith’s the Wealth of Nations and Marx’s Das Kapital into Chinese, economics study in Xiamen University has been among the very top programs in China. The Wang Yanan Institute for Studies in Economics (WISE) is a recent effort of the Ministry of Education of China and Xiamen University to build a first class research institute and facilitate domestic and international research and academic exchanges. Labor economics and related fields in public, educational, and health economics are among the priority of the development strategy of WISE.
