The workshop is part of the activities of the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) in London and is the most prestigious conference in International Trade.
ERWIT is an annual workshop that brings together international economists from across Europe and key researchers from outside the region. The workshop disseminates the findings of recent research on international trade, and presentations often involve exploratory rather than finished papers. It provides a unique opportunity to discuss trade-related research in a relaxed atmosphere. Another important aim of ERWIT is to provide young researchers with the opportunity to meet and discuss their work with senior economists.
This year's organizers are Diego Puga (CEMFI, Madrid and CEPR), Simon Evenett (University of St. Gallen and CEPR), and Karen Helene Ulltveit-Moe (University of Oslo and CEPR).
The conference is partially funded by ESOP and the ESOP project European Strains.
