Welcome to the WICG

The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in institutions (broadly defined) and growth, to tackle the following topics:

• How do contracts, organizations and institutions affect growth?
• Do contracts, organizations and institutions evolve with economic development?
• What are the appropriate institutions at different stages of growth?
• How do contracts and organizations interact with institutional change?
• Which factors affect the interaction between growth, contracts and institutions?

Philippe Aghion (Harvard) and Ramon Marimon (European University Intitute) will deliver the Keynote Lectures
