CETC 2021

Welcome to this year’s edition of the CETC! Given the current conditions, the CETC will be run as a weekly online seminar this year, instead of the usual in-person conference format. We hope this will encourage interaction among Canadian and international theorists and will help to maintain a sense of community.

Weekly seminars (January - April 2021): Every Thursday, 1 – 2pm EST Seminars will be live streamed on https://www.twitch.tv/cetc_seminars, followed by 30min of discussion and informal interaction on discord.

Invitations to join the discord server will be sent out via email. Please reach out to us if you did not receive the invitation and would like to join.

The program for January can be found below and will be updated as we go. Please make sure to join the mailing list https://microeconomics.ca/mailman/listinfo/cetc_seminars to stay up-to-date and receive reminders about the seminars.

Submissions and selection process: Please submit papers that you wish to be considered for inclusion in the series by sending an email to cetc.conference@gmail.com and attaching your paper. Include in your message any time constraints that you might have. Submission deadline is January 15th (we may also consider later submissions but cannot guarantee for it).

If you have any questions about the seminar series or individual seminars, please contact us at cetc.conference@gmail.com.

Looking forward to seeing you at the CETC seminar series. Your organizing team: Anne-Katrin Roesler, and Gabor Virag, Shunya Noda and Michael Peters (among others).
