Economics and policy-making: From art and craft to welfare optimization and evidence-based policies

Programme overview

Please note that Thursday, 9 May, is a public holiday in Austria. The Governor of Styria therefore could offer a Dinner Reception only Friday, 10 May. Hence the usual format therefore had to be reversed: the Conference Dinner has been scheduled for Thursday, 9 May, while the Dinner Reception of the Governor will take place on Friday, 10 May.
