The purpose of the workshop is to encourage the candidates to an early start on their dissertation, and to ensure that candidates receive training in presenting the material to a wider audience. You can see the program here.
This year, PhD candidate and NFS affiliate Gjermund Yndesdal presented his work: ''The Incidence of Additional Payroll Taxes on High-Wage Earners'', which examines who bears the burden of payroll taxes among top-earners - a topic that several NFS affiliates also are currently researching.
