The VfS Annual Conference consists of a core conference part with keynotes and a core conference panel on the current topic and an open conference part (Open Meeting) on all economic topics. Manuscripts for the open conference could be submitted from February 1st to March 1st 2025 from all fields of economics as individual papers or as organised sessions. The submissions will be evaluated by anonymous reviewers and then selected by the programme committee. The information about the acceptance of the contribution was sent on 13 May. The submitters then have two weeks to send us feedback with their acceptance (link in the email). Presenters must register for the conference by 1 June so that their contribution can be included in the programme.
Publication of the Contributions
With approval during the submission process, accepted contributions will be published in EconStor, the online publication database of the ZBW – Leibniz Information Center Economy which is a part of the collection of all VfS conference contributions. Find these contributions here. Further publication is not intended by the Verein fuer Socialpolitik.
EconStor is a disciplinary publication server for the distribution of economics research papers in Open Access. It is maintained by the ZBW - Leibniz Information Centre for Economics. Making your conference paper on EconStor as a pre-publication available, increases the visibility of your research (e.g. via RePEc) and does not conflict with the submission to a scholarly journal. If necessary, papers on EconStor can be withdrawn and deleted at any time. Further information here.
