Annual Conference for Development and Change (2007)

The Annual Conference for Development and Change provides a forum for an emerging global network of young economists whose work challenges mainstream economic analysis of global development. Organized around the theme of promoting development in a globalized world, ACDC anchors policy analysis in empirical evidence and solid theoretical bases, and provides a platform for intellectual debate and exchange.

Below are the papers to be presented at ACDC 2007 in Cape Town, South Africa. To the right are some of the participant biographies.
