Organized under the Smart Economic Planning and Industrial Policy (SEPIP) Program, the autumn school and workshop will be organized by Ostim Technical University in cooperation with the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the Columbia University Center for Development Economics and Policy.
The objective of this autumn school is to provide an overview of the process of structural transformation and its linkages with development, and to equip participants with knowledge of the key policy instruments that could accelerate the gradual transformation of the economic structure.
After an introduction to the topic and the discussion of constraints to structural transformation and development, the workshop will cover different areas of modern applied industrial policy, focusing in particular on the role of industrial policy in open economy, on innovation and education policy and on the challenges posed by international production networks and industry 4.0. Group discussion during the workshop will offer a possibility of applying the theoretical notions and the empirical techniques presented.
