| Summary: | This paper is a contribution to our
understanding of building local capacity in economics
education and research in developing and transition
countries. The contributors and discussants in this
publication provide many insights on these issues. In
particular, they offer a deep reflection on the need for
capacity building in economics education and research in
each region. For the last 15 years, The World Bank, its
partners, and government have supported the "centers of
excellence" for building capacity in modern economics
education and research in developing and transition
countries. To strengthen these efforts, the Central European
University (CEU) and the World Bank jointly organized a
conference entitled "Scaling Up Capacity Building in
Economics Education and Research: Lessons Learned and Future
Directions," which took place at the CEU campus in
Budapest, Hungary, on June 14-15, 2005. The material from
this conference is covered in this publication. |
