| Summary: | The Annual World Bank Conference on
Development Economics seeks to expand the flow of ideas
among development policy researchers, academics, and
practitioners from around the world. It is a premier forum
for World Bank and other experts to exchange ideas,
challenge one another's findings, and expand
theoretical and practical knowledge of development. Each
year the topics selected for the conference represent new
matters of concern or areas that will benefit from a review
of what we know and from the identification of what still
needs to be explored and expanded. This year's
conference, held at the World Bank on April 29-30, 2002,
addressed four themes: trade and poverty, Africa's
future in terms of industrial and/or agricultural
development, education and empowerment, and investment
climate and productivity, with Andrew Berg and Anne Krueger,
Paul Collier, Simeon Djankov, Rafael La Porta, Florencio
Lopez-De-Silanes, and Andrei Schleifer, Ravi Kanbur, Carmen
M. Reinhart and Kenneth S. Rogoff, L. Alan Winters, and
Adrian Wood. World Bank President James D. wolfensohn, Chief
Economist Nicholas Stern, and John B. Taylor also addressed
the conference. |
