Industrial policy is back on mainstream policy agendas in the U.S., Europe, and many developing countries. But the knowledge base to guide industrial policy remains underdeveloped. The Initiative for Policy Dialogue (IPD), the Firms & Industrial Policy Idea Lab of the Center for Political Economy (CPE), and the Center for Development Economics and Policy (CDEP) at Columbia University will host a conference on “New Thinking on Industrial Policy: Perspectives from Developed and Developing Countries,” on Nov. 1-2, 2024. The event will take place in person at Columbia. It follows a successful first edition of the conference in Nov. 2023.
Confirmed keynotes by Dani Rodrik (Harvard Kennedy School) and Alondra Nelson (Institute for Advanced Study) and confirmed lunch talk by Mariana Mazzucato (UCL).
The academic committee for the event is: Bilge Erten (Northeastern University), Martin Guzman (Columbia University), Reka Juhasz (University of British Columbia), Nils Kupzok (Columbia Unversity), Nathan Lane (Oxford University), Felipe Lobel (Columbia University), Juan Montecino (American University), Andrew Schrank (Brown University), Joseph Stiglitz (Columbia University), Eric Verhoogen (Columbia University), and Josh Whitford (Columbia University).
The conference will cover two nights' hotel accommodation and reasonable travel costs (economy class for flights) for speakers.
