The RFBerlin Brown Bag Seminar is an informal lunchtime meet up where researchers, students, and practitioners present ongoing work and new ideas in a relaxed, discussion-oriented setting. Rooted in the tradition of bringing one’s own lunch in a paper-brown bag, it offers space for open exchange and constructive feedback.

This week, we are pleased to welcome Naijia Guo, Associate Professor at the University of Hong Kong.
Dr. Guo holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania. Her research focuses on labor and family economics, with a particular emphasis on structural labor models. Her work has been published in leading journals such as Econometrica, The Economic Journal, and International Economic Review. Since 2023, she has served as an Associate Editor of the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization and will assume the role of Co-Editor of Labour Economics in January 2026. Dr. Guo also serves as Secretary of the Asian and Australasian Society of Labour Economics (AASLE).

Participation in the seminar is limited to RFBerlin members and researchers from affiliated institutions. If you are interested in attending, please contact us at [email protected]
