Our seventh annual Workshop on Sustainable Development was again held in Prato, Italy, on the 26 and 27 of June 2019.
Opening this year’s Workshop were Professor Gary B. Magee (Deputy Dean – Research, Monash Business School), Associate Professor Gaurav Datt (Deputy Director – CDES, Monash Business School) and Professor Amrik Sohal (Department of Management, Monash Business School).
Speakers at this workshop included Professor Ian Coxhead (University of Wisconsin-Madison), Professor Rachid Laajaj (University of the Andes), Professor Peter Lanjouw (Free University, Amsterdam), Professor Iain Fraser (University of Kent), and Professor Ingo Outes-Leon (Oxford University).
Of particular note, Professor Michael Carter, from the University of California, presented a keynote presentation titled ‘Can Insurance Alter Poverty Dynamics and Reduce the Cost of Social Protection in Developing Countries’. This keynote sparked conversation among the attending scholars.
Excited for next year’s Workshop, Professor Gary B. Magee said that he is “looking forward to having another fantastic workshop, bringing academics and scholars from every corner of the world, to share ideas and conversations around the topics of sustainability and economic development.”
