2025 Annual Meeting of the Finnish Economic Association
The 45th Annual Meeting of the Finnish Economic Association will be held in Tallinn on February 6–7, 2025 in cooperation with Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech). The conference is sponsored by the City of Tallinn.
Program
Preliminary conference program is available at: https://www.taloustieteellinenyhdistys.fi/conference-program/
Participation fees
The conference fee is 150 euros for participants based in Finland (the fee includes the conference dinner and membership in the association). The conference fee for participants from Estonia is 100 euros (the fee includes the conference dinner). PhD students (both from Estonia and Finland) who present their research participate for free (including the dinner). If the payer is someone else than the participant herself/himself, the billing information need be given upon registration.
Presentations
The parallel sessions last for 90 minutes and most of them include four presentations. This means 22.5 minutes per presentation, so prepare for a slot of 15–20 minutes to leave time for short discussions after the presentation. There will be no designated discussants and questions can also be asked during the presentation. Sessions can be slightly extended over breaks if all presenters agree on that. Please, have your presentation on a memory stick or laptop and download it to the room computer before the session starts to ensure that the presentation time is used efficiently. Chairs of the sessions are responsible for keeping track of time.
