Kiel Institute Summer School on Economic Policy

Posted on by

The Kiel Institute Summer School on Economic Policy will take place in the week June 14–19, 2015 on the topic “Innovation, Employment and Growth in the Global Economy”.

The recent wave of innovation, in particular the ICT revolution, had a deep impact on countries worldwide. It also led to a reassessment of the effects which innovation has on our economies. How do innovations spread over space and time? How do they affect the global organisation of production? What are the implications for economic growth and employment? The aim of the summer school is to consider these issues and discuss appropriate policy responses.

The speakers are Klaus Desmet (SMU Austin, Texas), Jordi Jeaumandreu (Boston University), Ingrid Ott (KIT, Karlsruhe), Jonathan Vogel (Columbia University), Fabrizio Zilibotti (University of Zurich).

The Summer School addresses PhD students and Post-docs with a strong academic record and a keen interest in policy issues, and staff members of policy and other institutions.
