Beirut Economics Research Seminar Series - Dr. Charbel Bassil

Conference Room 1617, 16th floor, Adnan Kassar School of Business, LAU Beirut campus and via Webex

The LAU Department of Economics and the AUB Department of Economics co-organize the Beirut Economics Research Seminar Series. The aim is to bring together Lebanon’s economics research community, including economics faculty members, researchers, students, and professionals.

The sessions feature discussions that enable participants to exchange ideas directly and critically with speakers on frontier economics research topics. They are held every two weeks during the fall and spring semesters, alternating between the LAU and AUB campuses. Attendance is open to all.

The Beirut Economics Research Seminar Series is generously funded by the AKSOB Dean’s Office at LAU and the FAS Dean’s Office at AUB.
