After his trip through Africa and Asia, Klaus F. Zimmermann has left Bonn on December 23 to enjoy Christmas and the beginning of the New Year at Miami Beach.
After the holidays, Klaus F. Zimmermann will participate at the ASSA 2019 Atlanta conference of the American economists.

The Kuznets Prize in a particular year is given to the author(s) of the best paper published in the previous year as judged by the editors. The ceremony will start at about 6.30 pm and will take about 15 minutes. Klaus F. Zimmermann who is also the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Population Economics, will announce some journal news including the 2019 prize winner(s).
