CESifo / HECER / RUESG

Helsinki
June 1 - 2, 2007

of Economic Research ( www.hecer.fi ) and the
Research Unit of Economic Structures and Growth (RUESG,
www.valt.helsinki.fi/raka/ ) in Helsinki will
organize a two-day workshop on international outsourcing.
The aim of the workshop is to take stock of current
research on international outsourcing.
PAPERS:
We welcome both theoretical and empirical research
contributions belonging to the fields of labour economics,
international economics, industrial organization or
organization theory. In designing the programme we will
give a particular priority to studies focusing on the
impact of outsourcing on wage formation, unemployment and
the welfare state in European countries with imperfectly
competitive labour markets. The workshop will include an
introductory lecture, a keynote lecture as well as 10 to 12
other presentations. The schedule of the workshop will
offer plenty of time for official and unofficial
discussions.
INVITED SPEAKERS:
Professor Elhanan Helpman, Harvard University, USA.
Professor Hans-Werner Sinn, CESifo, Germany.
SUBMISSIONS:
We invite interested researchers to participate in the
workshop and to submit manuscripts for presentation. The
deadline for the submission of manuscripts is March 15,
2007. The announcement of acceptance will be given by April
13, 2007. A selection of workshop papers will be published
as a special issue of CESifo Economic Studies, subject to
the normal refereeing process (see below for more
information about the journal). All presented papers are
eligible for submission to the CESifo working paper series.
The manuscripts should be sent via e-mail to the organizers

INFORMATION ABOUT THE JOURNAL CESIFO ECONOMIC STUDIES:
With the increasing specialization in the profession, there
is an urgent need for building bridges between the
different areas in economics. The economic research papers
published in academic journals are becoming increasingly
less accessible to those not working in the same field.
CESifo Economic Studies aims to bridge the gap between
specialized research in economics and the interest of non-
specialists. The journal combines theory and empirical
research with a strong emphasis on policy issues. CESifo
Economic Studies publishes contributed papers by top level
academic economists which are written in a style accessible
to all economists regardless of their specialization. The
primary focus of the journal is on policy problems, but it
also publishes high quality, non-technical articles which
are of general interest to economists.
The journal is circulated among a wide audience including
government, business, and policy-makers as well as
academics and students. All articles appearing in the
journal are thoroughly refereed.
