The 17^th China Economics Summer Institute (CESI) will be held on August 20-21, 2024, at Guanghua School of Management, Peking University. This will be an in-person meeting.

This initiative is currently co-sponsored by the Chinese University of Hong Kong-Tsinghua University Joint Research Center for Chinese Economy, the Centre for Economic Policy at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University, the Stanford Center on China’s Economy and Institutions (SCCEI) at Stanford University, and the School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua University. The Summer Institute is organized in collaboration with the BREAD, NBER and CEPR networks of academic economists.

This call invites you to submit a paper or express interest in attending the above Summer Institute.

During the two-day workshop, there will be seminar presentations. Senior scholars who will attend will be available for consultations with junior scholars. One session will be organized for Ph.D. students to present their work.
