The workshop focuses on quantitative methods and analysis of urban areas. The aim is to connect economists, sociologists, geographers, management scholars, and policy makers with advanced practice interested in urban economics. Bringing together leading experts, promising young researchers and advanced practitioners, the workshop offers an opportunity for scientific discussion and interaction in relatively small groups. Kraks Fond – Institute for Urban Economic Research is an independent research unit under the Kraks Fond. Results of Kraks projects are available to decision makers, the general public, and researchers alike https://kraksfondbyforskning.dk/en/publications/ .
The Kraks Fond – Institute for Urban Economic Research is pleased to invite you to submit research paper for presentation at the workshop on new developments in the analysis of gentrification. The last three workshops focused on “New developments in the analyses of residential location choice”, “City Structure” and “Gentrification”. Summaries can be found here:

Kraks Fond – Institute for Urban Economic Research is a non-profit foundation, and there is no workshop fee. However, confirmed registration is necessary to attend the workshop. The workshop organizers aim to ensure participation of all who desire to attend the workshop, but to facilitate in-depth discussion the number of participants is limited to 40. Attendance may therefore have to be restricted. The organizers will aim at a certain balance between countries and institutions. We may therefore not be able to accept additional registrations.
Confirmed registration gives full access to the entire event including catering, lunch at the conference venue, and the farewell reception. The farewell reception takes place after the workshop and is aimed to promote networking between professionals. The registration will be open from December 4, 2018. Registration will be confirmed by email. Please wait for confirmation before making travel or accommodation arrangements.
