Second African Search and Matching Workshop

in Marrakech

The Bernoulli Center for Economics (University of Basel), the Search and Matching Research Group
and the INREDD group (Universit Cadi Ayyad) invite submissions for the Second African
Search and Matching Workshop in Marrakech. The two-day workshop will take place at the
Universit Cadi Ayyad, Marrakech - Morocco, on May 28th 29th 2015.
Topics are welcome from all areas of economics, as long as the focus is on search, matching or
information frictions. However, preference is given to researchers in the fields of macroeconomics,
monetary economics and labor economics.
Submission of Papers
The deadline for full-paper submissions is February 20th 2015. Interested authors should submit
their papers in electronic form (PDF) to Romina Ruprecht (sam-africa@benomics.org). Authors of
submitted papers will be contacted shortly thereafter. Applications by ambitious Ph.D. students will
also be considered.
Registration Details
There is no conference registration fee and we provide accommodation for three nights. A limited
number of travel grants are available. If your participation is conditional on receiving such a
support, please provide an estimate of the required financial aid upon submission of your paper.
The local organizers provide help with getting around in Marrakech if needed.
Schedule
We intend to start in the morning on the 28th and stop in the evening on the 29th. For updates and
