Governments around the world are busy revitalizing their manufacturing sector to boost their middle classes. But empirical evidence and economic theory suggest that these ambitions risk being delusional if they are not coupled with more comprehensive policy strategies.
This panel discussion will include Robert Z. Lawrence, Albert L. Williams Professor of International Trade and Investment, HKS and Dani Rodrik, Ford Foundation Professor of International Political Economy, HKS. It will be moderated by Edoardo Campanella, senior global economist at UniCredit Bank and M-RCBG research fellow. This seminar will take place in Wexner 434AB for those with a Harvard ID who wish to attend in person. Others may join us remotely via Zoom. Lunch will be served.
Five copies of Prof. Lawrence's book, "Behind the Curve: Can Manufacturing Still Provide Inclusive Growth?" will be raffled off to those attending in person.
