New Thinking in Industrial Policy Conference (Deadline this Friday)
Nils Kupzok
Dear GEP Community,
I thought some of you would be interested in the upcoming New Thinking in Industrial Policy Conference at Columbia (Nov 1-2, see details below). We are particularly interested in receiving submissions on the issue of green industrial policy! The submission deadline is this Friday. Dani Rodrik (Harvard) and Alondra Nelson (Institute for Advanced Study) are the keynote speakers. I am on the academic committee, so feel free to email me if you have any questions.
Best,
Nils

The submission deadline is approaching for the conference on New Thinking in Industrial Policy: Perspectives from Developed and Developing Countries, Columbia University, Nov. 1-2, 2024.
Submission deadline: Friday, Sept. 13, 11:59 pm EDT
Industrial policy is back on mainstream policy agendas in the U.S., Europe, and many developing countries. But the knowledge base to guide industrial policy remains underdeveloped. The Initiative for Policy Dialogue (IPD), the Firms & Industrial Policy Idea Lab of the Center for Political Economy (CPE), and the Center for Development Economics and Policy (CDEP) at Columbia University will host a conference on “New Thinking in Industrial Policy: Perspectives from Developed and Developing Countries,” on Nov. 1-2, 2024. The event will take place in person at Columbia. It follows a successful first edition of the conference in Nov. 2023.
We welcome papers on this broad theme for consideration for the program. We are open to theoretical and empirical studies, as well as reflections on practice. We will consider extended abstracts or proposals for big-think talks. Submissions using the online form are due by Friday, Sept. 13, 2024 at 11:59pm EDT. We expect to announce the program by Oct. 1, 2024.
Confirmed keynotes by Dani Rodrik (Harvard Kennedy School) and Alondra Nelson (Institute for Advanced Study).
The academic committee for the event is: 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).
The conference will cover two nights' hotel accommodation and reasonable travel costs (economy class for flights) for speakers.
If you have questions, please contact Olena Jennings of CDEP at omj...@columbia.edu. Further information will be posted as it becomes available on the conference webpage.

We look forward to seeing your submissions and hope to see many of you there at the conference.
