Summer Microeconomics Seminars
I have been organizing a summer theory conference at HKU since 2007. Starting 2010, the event is co-hosted by HKU and UBC. The 2018 seminars will be hosted by UBC. Details about the upcoming summer conference will be posted when they are available. Information about the past conferences is available here.
East Asian Contract Theory Conference
This conference was initiated by colleagues from Japan and Taiwan in 2007. HKU joined this initiative since 2013, and economists from Korea began to participate in 2018. The conference now rotates across these four places, with participants mainly (but not exclusively) from the region.
