2nd DEM Workshop on Culture and Comparative Development
University of Luxembourg, May 31 - June 1, 2024
The comparative development of countries is the starting point of fascinating intellectual explorations. What are the forces behind differential economic developments? Why have some countries developed so much earlier while others remain trapped in poverty? What are the proximate, what are fundamental causes of long-run economic development? Can differences in culture lead to differential patterns of development across countries? And if so, what are the sources of different cultures? This workshop provides a forum of discussion on questions about the patterns of culture and comparative development across countries, regions, and time. The submission of both theoretical and of empirical papers on any of these topics or their intersection is welcome.
The workshop will take place on May 31 and June 1, 2024, in the premises of the Department of Economics and Management (DEM) at the University of Luxembourg. There is no participation fee. Meals and social events will be paid by the hosting University.
