Abstract

Each year, the ‘international job market for economists’ involves over 1,000 junior candidates and several hundred recruiters from all over the world meeting for short pre-screening interviews at annual congresses in Europe and in the US, thus generating a momentous and avoidable global hypermobility. Alberto Prati, Olivier Chanel and Morgan Raux argue it is time to reassess this unsustainable recruitment system and estimates the carbon footprint of alternative systems.
