NextGen Economists - Webinar Series

Who are the young economists actively shaping the future of their field? In our webinar series NextGen Economists we focus on prominent PhD researchers who apply novel perspectives to address current challenges. Join us to get inspired by cutting-edge economic research and participate in a lively discussion. 

We are pleased to open our series with PhD researcher Charan van Krevel (Radboud University Nijmegen) on the topic "Rethinking Development Economics". The webinar takes place on 
​Wednesday the 16th of December, 12:30 p.m. CEST.  Join us by subscribing below!

Rethinking Development Economics
​

According to neoclassical models of economic growth and traditional indicators like Gross Domestic Output, it appears that the world is becoming increasingly affluent. However, much of what we think we know from neoclassical economics may not be so. Charan van Krevel’s Doctoral research questions the very foundations of our well-established growth models, and pivots to more encompassing ways to think about development and prosperity. In this webinar, Charan shares his view of the current state of development economics and his ambitions of what economics ought to be – guided by his own recent research output and plans for the future. His work addresses topics such as the role of natural resources in society and development; the validity of regarding free-trade as an antidote for poverty; and power policymakers in development.
