Description
This opportunity, offered by the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET), funds research on the macroeconomic effects of networks and externalities. The program, chaired by Professor Joseph Stiglitz, aims to advance understanding of how agent and institutional interactions within networks generate inefficiencies, instabilities, and macroeconomic externalities. Projects should challenge economic orthodoxy and help develop new paradigms within the discipline.
