This meeting will primarily include an introduction to the Development Economics Working Group and to the Building Inclusive Growth (BIG) Lab.
The Development Economics Working Group supports graduate and faculty research in the economic determinants of human development and how economic policy can be used to promote human development. It promotes dialogue among researchers with different areas of expertise, from a variety of perspectives and subject areas, uch as health, education, infrastructure, governance, and migration. Regular meetings allow participants to workshop research in progress, while occasional seminars bring external researchers to campus to discuss their work and provide feedback on projects of group members.
Those interested in receiving advance reading materials and attending a virtual meeting of the Development Economics Working Group should contact Nilesh Fernando.
