    IZA/FCDO ONLINE Development Economics Course

    Online

    This course addresses the question of why fundamentally equal humans living in different countries enjoy very different standards of living. The aim of this course is to make the very latest research in economics on these issues accessible to anyone who is sufficiently curious about it. It is modeled after the award-winning undergraduate development course at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and, like its model, it is entirely based on research articles.

9th IZA/World Bank Conference on Employment and Development
June 25, 2014 - June 26, 2014

This year’s conference was held in Peru and aimed to provide a platform for researchers and policy experts to discuss new research findings and identify areas where further analytical and policy oriented work is needed.

In recognition of the importance of investing in quality education and promoting skill use, the conference featured special sessions on skills for productive employment.
