We are pleased to invite submissions to the 3rd PhD Conference in Economics at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. This two-day event offers a stimulating and collegial environment for PhD students and recent graduates to present their research, exchange ideas, and network with peers and faculty across a wide range of fields in economics.

We welcome submissions from all areas of economics, both theoretical and applied. Participants will have the opportunity to present their work and receive constructive feedback from an experienced discussant, chosen from a pool of faculty members and senior PhD candidates. 

The agenda includes a keynote speech on “AI and Competition in Agentic Markets” by professor Giacomo Calzolari (European University Institute) and a social dinner on the first day. Lunch and coffee breaks will be provided throughout the conference. There is no participation fee. Participants are expected to cover their own travel and accommodation costs.
