Dear ESA community,

we are please to announce the Riederau Workshop on People’s Understanding of and Support for Economic Policies.

The workshop will take place in Riederau am Ammersee (close to Munich) on 8 to 10 September 2026.

We are very glad to have Marcella Alsan (Stanford University) and Dmitry Taubinsky (University California, Berkley) as keynote speakers.

The workshop will discuss papers that explore the general public’s understanding of the economy, economic and societal problems, and of economic policies aimed at addressing them. What determines a policy’s popularity, including the role of experiences and beliefs, and how does one make socially desirable economic policies politically acceptable?

The call for paper can be found here.

The deadline for application is 28 February.

Best regards,

The organizing committee,

Stefano Carattini (Georgia State University)
Peter Haan (DIW Berlin, FU Berlin)
Davide Pace (LMU Munich)
Renke Schmacker (WZB, DIW Berlin)
Georg Weizsäcker (HU Berlin)
