Overview
The Initiative for Policy Dialogue (IPD), the Firms & Industrial Policy Idea Lab of the Center for Political Economy (CPE), the Center for Development Economics and Policy (CDEP), and the Institute of Global Politics (IGP) at Columbia University hosted a conference on “New Thinking on Industrial Policy: Perspectives from Developed and Developing Countries” in Nov. 1-2, 2024. The event took place in person at SIPA, Columbia. It followed a successful first edition of the conference in Nov. 2023.
We welcomed papers on this broad theme for consideration for the program. We were open to theoretical and empirical studies, as well as reflections on practice. We considered extended abstracts or proposals for big-think talks. Keynotes were delivered by Dani Rodrik (Harvard Kennedy School) and Alondra Nelson (Institute for Advanced Study), and a lunch talk was given by Mariana Mazzucato (UCL).
The academic committee for the event included: Bilge Erten (Northeastern University), Martin Guzman (Columbia University), Reka Juhasz (University of British Columbia), Nils Kupzok (Columbia University), 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).
