After a very intense academic year and as activities at the Department wind down before our annual summer break, you may be wondering what awaits you this Fall in terms of our seminars...

The Department has been very busy this month organising an eco-friendly, stellar lineup of guest speakers - check out our pages dedicated to our different seminars (Departmental, Roy-ADRES, Trade, Banque de France Research Seminar, PEPES, Friday) !

We are pleased to announce that, we have also decided to add two new series to our agenda and slightly tweaked our former 'Empirical IO Seminar'.

As of September the Department's faculty and graduate students are invited to attend:

• a joint Econometrics Seminar with the Centre de recherche en économie et statistique (CREST) and the Paris School of Economics (PSE) 

This is a bimonthly seminar series that takes place essentially online on Mondays but three sessions this year will be organised at Sciences Po, in-person. Invited speakers are econometricians, with a particular focus on applied econometricians interested in methods for policy evaluations.

For our first session, the scientific organiser of the seminar at Sciences Po, Clément de Chaisemartin, has invited Elie TAMER (Harvard), on September 18th.

• an Applied Microeconomics Seminar

This is a monthly seminar series that alternates with our PEPES Seminar on Thursdays. For the seminar's scientific organiser Claire de Montialoux the objective of the series is to present applied work in labour, development, public finance, political economy and economic history.

Joseph ALTONJI (Yale) and Nina ROUSSILLE (MIT) are already confirmed for November and the list of speakers will soon be finalised - the first session will take place September 21st.

Also of note, our Empirical IO Seminar has been renamed and its objective slightly enlarged. The new/old bimonthly Structural Seminar series focuses on research that combines methodological and empirical components, with topics in industrial organisation, urban, labour and applied microeconomics, on Tuesdays.

On September 5th, the Structural Seminar's scientific co-organisers, Marleen Marra and Junnan He, have invited Milena ALMAGRO (Chicago Booth) to launch the series in the Fall.
