The 38th Annual Irish Economic Association Conference is being organized by the Department of Economics at Queen’s University Belfast and will be held at the Hilton Belfast, 4 Lanyon Place, Belfast (BT1 3LP), from Thursday, May 8th to Friday, May 9th, 2025.

The keynote speakers are Professor John List, Kenneth C. Griffin Distinguished Service Professor in Economics at the University of Chicago, and Professor Renée Adams, Professor of Finance at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford.

Preconference activities will also be held at the conference venue on the afternoon and evening of Wednesday, May 7th, 2025. Dr. Florian Oswald, Data Editor for the Economic Journal and Associate Professor in Economics at Sciences Po, will conduct practical sessions on replication policies.  Romesh Vaitilingam, Editor-in-Chief of the Economics Observatory, member of the editorial board of Vox, writer, and communications consultant, will lead a session on “Making Research Matter.”

Three types of submissions to the conference are invited:

1. Full presentations: These are 25 minutes in length and require the submission of a full paper by the presenter.
2. Short presentations (Flash Talks): These are 10 minutes in length, can be work-in-progress, and require the submission of either an extended abstract (approximately 2 pages) or an early draft paper. While short presentations are primarily aimed at providing early career researchers with an opportunity to present their work and develop their conference experience and skills, these sessions are also open to more experienced researchers who wish to present early-stage work and/or give a shorter presentation.
3. Organised sessions: These are full sessions of 1.5 hours on a specific topic or area and are a new initiative at the IEA conference. Proposals for organised sessions must be submitted by one person (i.e., the organiser), and the session should include at least 3, but no more than 4, papers to be presented. One submission should be made by the organiser, including extended abstracts and/or full papers for each presentation, along with a one-page overview and description of the organised session. The inclusion of at least one discussant is encouraged.

The deadline for all submissions is midnight on Tuesday, February 4th, 2025. Submissions can be made via the conference website:

Several prizes will be awarded at the conference, including the Denis Conniffe Prize for best paper by a young economist, the Brendan Walsh Prize for best paper published in the Economic and Social Review, the Novartis Prize for best health economics paper, and the Irish Society for Women in Economics (ISWE) Prize for best paper presented by a woman economist.

Central Bank of Ireland will host the inaugural “Economics Winter Workshop” in Dublin on 21 December 2023. We aim to provide an annual forum for economists, both domestic and foreign-based, to connect and discuss current issues within our Research Agenda. This covers a wide range of topics, including many new as well as long-standing issues relevant to small open economies with complex financial systems. Such engagement enhances the quality of our policy decisions and advice, through the creation of networks that foster collaboration and facilitate challenge. 

We will select approximately five to eight papers, with a discussant for each to facilitate wider participation. Selection will balance seniority and topic, aiming for a diverse representation. While it is expected participants will cover their own costs, there is some funding available upon application. The event will also feature a keynote lecture by Kevin O’Rourke and a policy panel with Philip Lane, Martina Lawless, Niamh Moloney and Michael McMahon. 

We invite submissions before September 30 and will notify authors before October 15. The programme committee comprises of Daragh Clancy, Gillian Phelan, Martin O’Brien and Gerard O’Reilly. 

This event is in person. For submissions, and in case of any questions, please email researchexchange@centralbank.ie with “Economics Winter Workshop” in the subject line.
