| The Spring Meeting of Young
Economists is intended to give non-tenured young economists (such
as PhD students, post-docs, assistant professors, and equivalents) a
chance to meet, present and discuss their work. The meeting aims to
provide a European platform; nonetheless participation from all
over the world is invited.
The conference covers all areas of economics (micro, macro,
econometrics, game theory, financial economics, experimental economics, political economy,
labour economics, empirical economics, public sector economics, economic
history, etc.). If the number of potential participants becomes very
large, the local organising and program committees can focus on special
topics.
Participation from Central and Eastern Europe is
encouraged and supported by a limited number of travel grants for
participants from Eastern Europe.
The board encourages the local organisation and the
programme committee to ask one or two well-known economists as guest
speakers for the conference. Guest speakers should in principle attend
the entire conference and a priori express a
willingness to interact with the other conference participants.

History
|
|
|
| The smye started as a small-scale
meeting for German Ph.D. students in Essen, 1996. With Uwe Dulleck and
Achim Wambach as main pushers, it expanded rapidly from an initial 30
participants in to over 100 participants in it’s third year in Berlin.
When it went international it quickly reached its current size of 200 as
was the case in Oxford in 2000. |

Organization
|
| |
|
| The tasks of the organization are
separated in three different commitees: The local organizing committee,
the program committee and the board.
The Local organizing Committee is responsible
for the practical organisation of the conference. This includes, among
other things, conference sponsoring, contacting guest speakers and making
arrangements for the conference venue.
The Program Committee is responsible for the
announcement of the call for papers and the selection process.
Finally, the SMYE Board is responsible for the
continuity of the conference by selecting the new conference locations and
keeping track of a (small) general budget for administrative purposes.
A lot of freedom is given for the local organisation
and the program committee: the amount of interference in planning and
organising conferences from the SMYE Board is kept to a minimum.
This means faith is put in young researchers to be able to organise
conferences of this size. |
