 The Austrian Economics Research Conference is really the premier event of Austrian economics. This is where people show up from all over the world who do research in Austrian economic theory, and this is where it happens basically. The AERC of course attracts a few students as well as professional academics, and so it's very nice to see what's happening with Austrian economics getting out into academic institutions around the world. For a young academic, there's no better place to get feedback on your work. It's an extremely important conference, the reason being that it really is the only one like it in the world. In addition to learning the conventional economics that most graduate programs teach, they can come here and they can also get this instruction in what the Austrian school is all about. It's a great place to create connections, to build relationships, to be inspired by other people's work. At the core of Austrian economics is strictly causal relationships, therefore genuine applications to the real world. And so the standard for research is much higher. The Austrian Economics Research Conference is just one crucial step in the research process where that standard is tested. So many Austrian scholars all gather together. It's a unique opportunity. And it includes cutting edge research on Austrian economics as well as applications to current events of Austrian economics. So much of what we do at the Mises Institute is aimed at students and younger people and lay persons, but this is really our core academic conference. And it's an excellent opportunity for young and rising Austrian economists to meet one another, to network, and help each other find positions in universities across the globe.
