About InsTED:
The Institutions, Trade, and Economic Development (InsTED) Network is based at the University of Exeter, UK. InsTED was established to provide a forum for debate, dissemination of research, and interaction between researchers. Bringing together researchers from the UK, US, Canada, Europe, the US, and beyond, InsTED aims to deepen our understanding of how international trade fosters economic development and the role of strong institutions. The institute fosters richer and more comprehensive dialogue about how global economic systems affect societies by exploring social, cultural, political, and historical dimensions of international trade and development economics.
