European Workshop on Applied Cultural Economics

The European Workshop on Applied Cultural Economics (EWACE) is intended to provide a forum for the development and dissemination of applications of quantitative methods in cultural economics, including applications of mathematical economics, experimental economics and other quantitative approaches (e.g., applied micro and macroeconometric approaches). Authors are welcome to submit papers on applied cultural economics.
