Dear colleagues,
I would like to encourage those of you interested in immigration research
to submit papers for a conference I am co-organizing with Christian
Dustmann and Ian Preston (both at UCL) in London in the Spring of
2006. See the attached poster (and the summary below) for more details.
Thanks,
Thomas
Conference on:
IMMIGRATION: IMPACTS, INTEGRATION AND INTERGENERATIONAL ISSUES
University College London (UCL), 29 to 31 March 2006
The conference will address all areas of migration with a particular
emphasis on three issues: the impact immigration has on the host and source
country economies, the assimilation and performance of immigrants in the
host country labour markets, and the integration of immigrants across
generations.
The conference, jointly organised by CReAM (Centre for Research and
Analysis of Migration, UCL) and TARGET (Team for Advanced Research on
Globalization, Education, and Technology), will be interdisciplinary, but
with a strong focus on economics and quantitative sociology.
Travel and accommodation for speakers of accepted papers or posters will be
reimbursed. Submissions from graduate students are welcomed.
Please send either paper or poster as an electronic copy to Albrecht Glitz
at cream@ucl.ac.uk. More information at www.econ.ucl.ac.uk/cream/.
Deadline for paper submission: 15th December 2005
Decision for acceptance made by: 20th January 2006
Keynote speakers:
Monica Boyd
(University of Toronto, Sociology)
David Card
(University of California at Berkeley, Economics)
Richard Freeman
(Harvard University, Economics)
