Quantitative Spatial Economics Junior Workshop

An Online Spatial Economics Seminar Series
organized by
Clare Balboni and Fabian Eckert
sponsored by
The Woodrow Wilson School and the Princeton Economics IES Section

The QSE workshop was originally meant to be taking place in Princeton in May 2020 with the aim of bringing together early-career researchers interested in quantitative work on the spatial economy. Due to COVID-19, we had to move the first iteration of the Quantitative Spatial Economics Junior Workshop online. Info on future QSE Junior Workshop can be found here.


The workshop took place every Friday between April 17 and June 5 at noon NYC time.

The schedule was as follows:
