This is a reminder that the deadline to submit to the Young Economist Symposium (YES) is this coming Friday, June 11th. Princeton will be hosting YES online from Monday August 16th to Friday August 20th 2021, and this is a call for submissions.

YES is an entirely student-run and student-led conference hosted by a consortium of Economics departments consisting of UPenn, Princeton, Yale, NYU, and Columbia. YES will consist of one week of academic talks and discussions, as well as several social events which will be held through zoom. Its purpose is to give graduate students the opportunity to gain valuable exposure of their work by presenting and discussing it with their peers from a range of other schools.

There is no fee for submitting to or registering for the conference.

If you would like to present your work at the conference, please submit an anonymized draft of your paper by following the submission procedure outlined in the “submissions” section of our website (https://sites.google.com/view/youngeconomistsymposium) by June 11th, 2021 by 11:59PM EDT.

We welcome submissions from PhD students from all schools in all fields of economics, and we specifically encourage and welcome submissions from under-represented groups in economics. Please note that if you are accepted to present, you also agree to act as a discussant for another student’s presentation.
