The Center for Governance and Markets (CGM) at the University of Pittsburgh welcomes participation in our Policy & Political Economy (PPE) workshop. The PPE workshop provides a welcoming environment for scholars to present research at any stage of development. We are particuarly interested in research at its most nascent stage.

To ensure a lively discussion, workshop participants should read the papers before the workshop. Presenters will make a brief 15 minute presentation that will be followed by an hour-long discussion of the work.

Workshops will normally meet Thursday 1:00 to 2:15 in Posvar Hall. Please let us know if you would be interested in meeting with any of our speakers individually or as a group.
