Announcements of Opportunities

Call for Applications now available for the 2008 BREAD/CEPR/University of Verona Summer School in Development Economics (June-July 2008 - deadline April 30, 2008)

Summer School

In 2005, BREAD, in conjunction with the Banff International Research Station, offered a summer school in development economics for Ph.D. students, post-docs, and graduates. The summer school was held in Canada and introduced students to the main concepts in analytical development economics - methodological, theoretical, and empirical - as well as to a variety of statistical and modeling tools.

In 2008, BREAD, the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) and the University of Verona are hosting a summer school in Italy. The summer school is intended for advanced graduate students in economics and a small number of recent Ph.D.s. [More information and application information (PDF)]
