Dear NBER Family,
The Stanford Institute for Theoretical Economics is hosting a workshop
this Summer (August 13-15)
on "Growth and Development: Micro and Macro Approaches."
The deadline for submitting papers is this Sunday, March 1.
The conference is organized by
Michele Tertilt, Seema
Jayachandran, Aprajit Mahajan, Pete Klenow and
Ran Abramitzky,
Stanford University and
Matthias Doepke, Northwestern University
and
Chris Udry, Yale University.
A brief description of the conference is as follows: This session will
bring together micro and macro economists working on topics in growth and
development. A special emphasis will be put on topics around health
and family. This includes, but is not limited to, issues related to
the demographic transition, family institutions, female empowerment,
policies to limit infectious diseases (such as HIV), and the role that
diseases play for (the lack of) development in some parts of the
world. We encourage both papers on developing countries today, and
those that aim to understand the historical development process in
todays developed countries.
To apply, please send an email with your paper attached as a PDF file
(along with the workshop title "Growth and Development") to
Rafal Klopotowski: rafal54@stanford.edu
