This is the second conference of the 'Trade, Industrialization and Development' RTN, funded by the European Commission.

This Network seeks to understand the conditions under which countries succeed in participating effectively in the world economy, and are able to secure industrial development and modernisation.

To achieve this objective the network will analyse the interactions between trade, industry, institutions and economic development, both from the theoretical and the empirical standpoint.

Research will cover cross-country analysis, in-depth industry and country analyses, and policy analysis. This workshop will address these issues.
