PARTICIPATE IN THIS CONFERENCE
Over 3 days of immersive dialogue, workshop, learning, and networking the seminar will provide participants with the knowledge and skill to work on today’s most pressing issues related to economic development. Our goal is that such experience will allow the participants to have an even bigger impact in their respective economies.
 
The seminar will begin by covering the subject of economic development in general, including issues related to institutional economics, structural reform, and policy implementation. It will then pay special attention to Latin America and its experience implementing various development models during the last decades.
 
The economist leading the discussion will be Dr. Keith Jakee, a professor at Florida Atlantic University and a researcher at Duke University. The seminar’s reading list includes works from authors with different perspectives on the issue of economic development. The list includes Daron Acemoglu, Dani Rodrik, Deirdre Mccloskey, Moises Naim, Jeffrey Sachs, and William Easterly, among others.
