The programme will also include academic invited sessions, “jobs for economists” sessions,
round tables and lunch panels, the latter being dedicated to discuss issues on education

Assembly and the AFSE awards Ceremony for the AFSE Edmond Malinvaud Prize, the AFSE
PhD Dissertation Prize, and the AFSE-Fondation Banque de France PhD Dissertation Prize will
