Description
The International Growth Centre (IGC), in partnership with the Yale Economic Growth Center (EGC), invites submissions for its annual conference focused on firms, trade, and development—with an expanded emphasis on climate, energy, and the environment. The conference brings together leading scholars and early-career researchers to present and discuss cutting-edge research relevant to economic growth and policy in developing countries. In addition to the main conference, a dedicated Early-Career Researchers Workshop offers opportunities for junior academics (within 8 years post-PhD or pre-tenure) to present work-in-progress or completed research and receive feedback from senior researchers.
