The Econometric Society invites applications to the 2024 Africa Training Workshop in Development Economics. The workshop will present new research approaches which try to understand African development on its own terms, rather than what it is not. Typical approaches see Africa as having failed to take advantage of the opportunities created by the modern world and as a failed version of western modernity. It is obvious, however, that African societies were on a different track historically, for example embracing far more decentralized political systems, different and non-expansionary models of international relations and a social role for economic institutions and property rights that was completely different from western societies.

Also, beyond this observation, there is a huge variation of the location of economics research in Africa (you can sense this by the spread of blue dots) -- some countries i.e. the ‘scarce seven’ are barely looked at. 🎓As researchers, we must considerer this observation and try to adress it. 👀TO READ: Policy Research Papers help bridge this gap: wrld.bg/uUj950SBzRT & https://lnkd.in/eYk5vwtm
