On the Standing Field Committee on Social Policy: A large part of the research activity of the German Economic Association takes place in specialized committees. Their task is to carry out special work and to promote professional discourse in their respective fields. Working meetings are held regularly for this purpose. This workshop opens up the yearly meeting of the Standing Field Committee on Social Policy for presentations by non-members.
