EGC announces the Fall 2024 Development and Economic History weekly workshop and lunch speakers

The Yale Economic Growth Center has announced the lineup for its headline weekly events: the Development Workshop, Development Lunch, Economic History Workshop and Economic History Lunch.

The Development Workshop is designed as a forum for graduate students and faculty with an interest in economic problems of developing countries. Outside speakers, faculty and graduate students on the job market discuss research papers. The Development Lunch (officially “Economics 756: Prospectus Workshop in Development”) is an informal workshop designed primarily for graduate students working in development economics to present research in progress. The Economic History Workshop is a central part of the program, with speakers including Yale faculty and graduate students as well as distinguished scholars from other institutions.
