This fall, the Economics Department at Purdue University will host the 28th Annual Empirical Investigations in International Trade conference. At this conference, economists specializing in empirical international trade will present their current research. The goal of this conference is to promote the awareness of ongoing research in the area. It is also our hope that by bringing together people of similar interests, increased communication of ideas and future directions for the general research area will be promoted.

Previous editions of the conference have included researchers at many different stages in their careers. The atmosphere is informal and lively, characterized by significant audience participation. We do not intend to publish the papers.

We plan on holding the conference in-person on the campus of Purdue University, subject to Purdue's COVID rules. Our plans are subject to change depending on the evolution of the pandemic.
