CORA 2024 - Conference on Robots and Automation

 

The third conference on the economic impact of robots and automation will take place ­on September 23th and 24th 2024, at ­­Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, Germany, in cooperation with the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). This conference aims to establish a platform for all economists working in the rapidly growing fields of robots, automation, and artificial intelligence. We also wish to provide a forum for discussion between data users and the main data provider in this field.

A keynote speech will be held by Guy Michaels (London School of Economics).

Researchers from all fields of economics are invited to present new research results and discuss possible directions for future research activities. We welcome the submission of papers with an empirical, theoretical, and/or policy orientation focusing on micro- or macroeconomic aspects of robots, automation, and artificial intelligence. We also encourage PhD students with work-in-progress to submit proposals for a poster session.
