European Public Choice Society 2024

EPCS Logo

The 51st Meeting of the European Public Choice Society will take place at the Vienna University of Economics from April 2 to April 5, 2024. The European Public Choice Society (EPCS, http://www.epcs-home.org/) promotes scientific research on the economics and politics of public and nonmarket decision-making, political economy, and the economics of institutions. About 300 researchers from different fields such as economics, political science, and other social sciences meet annually to discuss the current issues in all fields of Public Choice and Political Economy, in all their theoretical and empirical dimensions. The breadth of topics represented in the meeting can be assessed by consulting the conference program of the 2023 meeting, which took place in Hannover.
