About
The BEST seminar is a summer seminar series in Berlin—irregular in schedule, but consistent in quality. It brings together researchers working on frontier topics in international trade, especially those using novel data, innovative methods, or fresh perspectives.
Taking place in Berlin during the summer, BEST is a chance to engage with great research in a great city.
