Conference
2014 Annual Conference of the Royal Economic Society

The 2014 Annual Conference of the Royal Economic Society will be held at The University of Manchester from Mon 7th April to Wed 9th April 2014. The deadline for submission is 13 October 2013.

Thanks to its crucial role in the Industrial Revolution, the city of Manchester has been called the world’s first modern city. It was at the heart of industrialisation of the textile industry but also played host to Friedrich Engels during his formative years; as such, it can lay claim to having influenced the roots of capitalism and communism! The city has undergone numerous social and economic changes since then and continues to enjoy a central role in British cultural life, hosting numerous museums, art galleries, theatres and, of course, football clubs. It also offers a unique geographical position, perched between the Lake District in the North, and Peak District in the East and Wales to the West. For all these reasons, it is easily reached by air (Manchester Airport is a short distance away and offers direct access to European and other international flights), and by direct trains from around the country (including London).

The University of Manchester can be traced back to 1824 and has hosted 25 Nobel Laureates, including three in Economics (Arthur Lewis, John Hicks and Joseph Stiglitz). It is located in the centre of the City, offering excellent access to accommodation, dining and cultural activities.

Keynote Speakers

David Autor (MIT) will deliver the EJ lecture;
Sendhil Mullainathan (Harvard) will deliver the Hahn lecture;
Hélène Rey (LBS) will deliver the Sargan lecture.
