The 13th PEARL Seminar (Public Economics at the Regional and Local level)


On Thursday 29 will begin the 13th PEARL Seminar at the Consello Económico de Galicia (CES Galicia) in Santiago de Compostela. For the first time, this event is organized in Spain. Past editions were held in France, Italy, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Finland and China.

PEARL is a network of researchers and research institutions that operate in the field of applied public economics and public finance. The main focus of the network is on the regional level of government, which of course includes studying the relationships with local, state, federal (or supra-national) institutions. The idea of PEARL is to gather various kinds of expertise both from different countries (implying different objectives, economic and institutional constraints) and from different fields of economic analysis (econometrics, public finance and public choice, local and regional economics, macroeconomics).

The 13th PEARL Conference is organized by the GEN research group (University of Vigo) and with the collaboration of ECOBAS
