We are delighted to invite you to submit a paper or extended abstract for the 6th Zurich
Conference on Public Finance in Developing Countries.

different universities and countries to discuss their work in a relaxed atmosphere and to
develop long-term collaborative relationships.

blended sessions with in-person and online attendance.
