Welcome to Budapest!

We are delighted to welcome all of you to Budapest and to the School of Public Policy at Central European University for the 2017 Annual Meeting of the European Public Choice Society.

We are especially pleased to be hosting this important gathering at the University’s new state-of-the-art buildings in downtown Budapest that were inaugurated only last fall. These environmentally sustainable spaces combine the latest technology with attractive design features – including a rooftop garden on the 7th floor that offers spectacular views of Budapest.

This year’s EPCS meeting will showcase the interesting research that is taking place at the frontier of the field of public choice. We are also delighted to welcome Catherine De Vries, Gérard Roland, and Jean-Robert Tyran as keynote speakers.

We have organized a social program that will feature some of Budapest’s highlights: a Welcome Reception in the Budapest Jewish Quarter, which is home to the Dohány Street Synagogue, the largest synagogue in Europe; a Gala Dinner in an elegantly decorated historic building along the Danube River; and a visit and reception at the world famous Gellért Baths and Hotel.

We want to take this opportunity to thank the many people who have provided the invaluable assistance and support that have made this event possible: CEU President and Rector Michael Ignatieff, Provost and Pro-Rector Liviu Matei, SPP Acting Dean Julia Buxton, former SPP Dean Wolfgang Reinicke, and colleagues at the School of Public Policy, the Department of Economics, and CEU’s Central Administration.

FORMAT OF PARALLEL SESSIONS

Format of Parallel SessionsTo ensure that the parallel sessions run smoothly, we ask that

participants observe the following:

1. Each presentation lasts no more than 20 minutes.

2. Each presenter discusses the paper before his/hers. The

first presenter discusses the last paper.

3. Discussants speak no more than 5 minutes. There is then

5 minutes for general discussion of the paper.

4. The last presenter is the Chair of the session and is

responsible for keeping track of time.

Discussions should be substantive. We suggest that discus-

sants not waste time summarizing the paper, but focus in-

stead on providing constructive feedback that can help the

presenter improve their paper. All papers are hyperlinked

and are accessible directly from the conference program.

Each room is equipped with interactive wall-mounted LED

displays, built-in computers, and wireless screen-sharing pos-

sibilities. Please upload and check your presentation slides

at least 15 minutes before the start of your session. We will

have technical support available at all times.

SOCIAL PROGRAM

We have organized several activities for Friday (April 21) afternoon. The main attraction is a visit to the world-famous Gellért Baths. The baths, which were opened in 1918 and extensively renovated and restored in 2006–07, are decorated in the Art Nouveau style with intricate mosaics, tiles, and stained glass. The 10 pools of various sizes and temperatures are located in the same building as the Hotel Gellért where there will be a reception from 7 to 9 pm.

We have also organized two walking tours – of Jewish Budapest and to the Castle District. The tour of Jewish Budapest will include visits to several important synagogues including the Dohány Street Synagogue (the largest synagogue in Europe), the Rumbach Synagogue, and the Kazinczy Synagogue; the Raoul Wallenberg Memorial Park; the Tree of Life-Holocaust Memorial; and Heroes’ Temple.

The tour of the Castle District will include a visit to the Royal Palace, which was first completed in 1265; Matthias Church, where Charles IV was coronated in 1916 and where King Matthias got married – twice; and also the Fisherman’s Bastion from where you will enjoy a breathtaking view over the city.

About Budapest and CEU

Budapest

The capital of Hungary, Budapest is a stunningly beautiful city that attracts more than 4.5 million tourists per year. It is located along the banks of the Danube River in the heart of Europe.

The city is known for its thermal baths, art nouveau architecture, and cultural vibrancy. You can also eat well in Budapest. It is home to four Michelin star restaurants and is renowned for its pastries. Visitors to Budapest especially appreciate its dynamic and affordable cultural life that is enriched by the presence of the internationally celebrated Budapest Festival Orchestra and the many festivals and concerts that take place throughout the year.

There are a couple of events taking place in April 2017 that you might want to check out: Budapest Spring Festival 2017 on April 8–24; Budapest 100, an annual celebration of 100-year old buildings in Budapest on April 16–17; and I bike Budapest on April 22.

ABOUT BUDAPEST AND CEU

Central European University

In the words of its President and Rector Michael Ignatieff, Central European University (CEU) “is a new model for inter- national education, a center for regional and global studies, and a source of intellectual support for building open and democratic societies that respect human rights.” It offers graduate degree programs in the social sciences and humanities, business and economics, environmental sciences and policy, law, network science, cognitive science, and mathematics. CEU has a long tradition of, and strong commitment to, academic and research excellence in public policy, economics, political science, and international relations. Accredited in the United States and Europe, the University boasts an exceptionally diverse student body with students from 108 countries.

CEU was established in 1991 by Hungarian-American financier and philanthropist George Soros. His vision was to recruit professors and students from around the world to build a unique institution that would train future generations of scholars, professionals, politicians, and civil society leaders to contribute to the region’s transition to democratic market economies and adherence to the rule of law.

In September 2016, CEU inaugurated two state-of-the-art buildings that are home to the CEU Library, a 400-seat auditorium, and classrooms and meeting spaces equipped with the latest technology. EPCS 2017 will take place in these two buildings located on Nádor Street, just a block from the Danube River.
