Funding and paper submission
1) Can I obtain funding for SMYE?
The low registration fee is designed to encourage submissions, but we do not provide any additional funding for participants.
2) How much is the registration fee?
The registration fee is 65 euros.
3) I am not a European citizen; can I still participate?
Yes, you can. There is no restriction on citizenship.
4) Is there an age limit for participation?
The age limit is 35 years.
5) I work in the private sector/outside academia. Can I submit a paper?
Yes, you can.
6) Which topics are eligible for the conference?
We welcome papers from all disciplines of economics.
7) Can I submit more than one paper to SMYE 2018?
No, you cannot. You can only submit and present one paper.
8) How long is an extended abstract?
An extended abstract consists of a minimum of 4,000 and a maximum of 8,000 characters.
9) Are full papers more likely to be accepted than extended abstracts?
No, referees are advised to review both types of submissions equally and, for this purpose, to consider only the introduction and conclusion of full papers.
10) What are the full paper prerequisites?
If your work is accepted on the basis of your abstract, you are expected to send a full paper within some months (see also question 11). There is no restriction on the number of words. The full paper should be similar to a working paper, completed with a description of your methodology, results, etc. You will be assigned a discussant (see also question 13). It is likely that more complete papers will get better discussions.
11) Which are the deadlines for the full paper submission and registration?
You should register before March, 18. Full papers should be submitted by the end of April. Check our website for updates on deadlines.

Participation and Best Paper Award
12) Can I present a co-authored paper?
Yes, but you can present only once in person. Co-authors are not invited to attend SMYE 2018, due to organizational restrictions.
13) How much time will a presentation last?
Each presentation lasts 20 minutes, followed by a discussion of at most 5 minutes from a fellow presenter in your session. Each presenter will need to discuss the paper of one of the other presenters in his or her session.
14) How is the Best Paper selected?
It is chosen by a commission of three members (one member of the Local Organising Committee, one of the Program Committee and one of the EAYE Board) among all the submitted papers.
15) What about the Best Paper award?
A financial reward will depend on budgetary constraints. However, academic honour is what really counts!
