This workshop aims at being a showcase of recent outstanding contributions in the broad literature on development economics. The workshop aims to create an annual meeting of top researchers in this field in the framework of the BSE Summer Forum. Both empirical and theoretical contributions are encouraged, and participation of both established seniors and promising junior researchers is expected. The workshop will have a duration of two days, with a total of 12 talks of 1 hour each.

The deadline for submissions is February 28, 2024. To submit a paper, please use this link https://app-summerforum.bse.eu/.
