The 3rd Summer School on the Economics of Migration lasted for four days and took place at Casa de California, Mexico City, from September 9 to September 12, 2024.
This version was now expanded to PhD students in North and South America, from which we received more than 60 applications.
In the morning, each faculty member delivered a lecture on the frontier of research in their specific topic. In the afternoon, students presented their own research ideas or drafts and received feedback from faculty. The school's atmosphere encouraged conversation and feedback in small groups. Students and faculty shared meals together, fostering the development of mentoring relationships and networks among peers.
The school also hosted two events on migration policy:
- A conversation with Eduardo Porter (Washington Post)
- Panel on Migration, to and through Mexico, Asylum seekers
Faculty and topics:

Thirty students participated in the 3rd Summer School, including Economics PhD Students enrolled in US, Canadian and Latin-American institutions, in their 3rd-6th year, as well as Post-Docs beginning to work on a research plan. Thanks to the generous support of University of California Alianza MX, admitted students had their stay at Krystal Grand Suites Insurgentes, meals, and classes at Casa California fully covered.
