The RFBerlin Brown Bag Seminar is an informal lunchtime meet up where researchers and students 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 welcome Xin Meng, Professor of Economics at the Australian National University, an RFBerlin Fellow and Fellow of the Australian Academy of Social Sciences.
Her research spans development economics, labour economics, the economics of education, and applied microeconomics, and has been supported by the Australian Research Council and organizations such as the World Bank and the Ford Foundation.

Event Topic:

Childhood Shocks, Learned Helplessness, and Adult Disengagement: Evidence from China’s “Lying Flat” Phenomenon

Event Details:

Participation in the seminar is limited to RFBerlin members and researchers from affiliated institutions. External researchers who are interested in attending are kindly asked to contact the events manager Yulia Aster at [email protected]
