WIOD Conference: Industry-Level Analyses of Globalization and its Consequences, Vienna, May 26-28, 2010

WIOD (World Input-Output Database: Construction and Applications) is a large-scale collaborative research project, funded by the European Commission in its 7th Framework Programme. It aims at constructing an internationally harmonized database that integrates detailed data on national production structures, international trade, socio-economic issues and environmental pressures, and at using this database for scenario studies and simulation of a wide range of policy measures. WIOD’s first annual consortium meeting will be held in Vienna, May 26-28, 2010. Next to researchers from the participating institutions (who will present and discuss the progress of the project), other researchers are invited to present a paper on topics related to industry-level analyses of globalization (and its consequences). Contributions on data construction as well as applications (e.g. econometric analyses and modeling efforts) are very welcome. Because the number of presentations will be limited, papers will be selected on the basis of their quality and relevance for the WIOD project.

Researchers interested in presenting a paper at the WIOD meeting in Vienna are invited to submit an abstract (with a maximum of 300 words) by e-mail to wiod@rug.nl before March 15.
