Co-directed by John List (UChicago) and Julio Elias (UCEMA), JILAEE is a new initiative established to design and implement field experiments in Latin America.
The conference will be held at the Universidad del CEMA (UCEMA) in downtown Buenos Aires, nearby many places of interest, including Puerto Madero, San Telmo, the Colon Theater, MALBA and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes.

We especially encourage applications from scholars from (or interested in doing research in) Latin America.
