This is a joint initiative of members of the Departments of Economics of the Universities of Bologna, Modena-Reggio Emilia and Padova. The meetings are aimed at stimulating discussion among the researchers of the three departments. The idea is to establish a tradition of meetings to be hosted in rotation on a regular basis. The final goal is to create synergies, strengthen cooperation, and foster the development of joint research projects. Participation of all members of the three departments as well as Ph.D students close to thesis completion and Post-Docs is encouraged. Also outside guests can attend the Meetings.

The current members of the Scientific Committee of the BOMOPA Economics Meetings are:

• Graziella Bertocchi (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia)
• Efrem Castelnuovo (University of Padua)
