The 23rd PhD Conference was held between 17-19 November 2010 and involved 31 students from 17 different universities in Australia and New Zealand. 36 discussants from 21 universities and government institutions throughout Australia contributed to the success of the conference. The PhD students the discussants faculty from the Research School of Economics and other economists from around the Australian National University kept attendance at high levels and generated interesting and stimulating discussion around the paper presentations.
