The Economic Growth Conference in Memory and Honour of Berthold Herrendorf
In memory of Berthold Herrendorf, the W. P. Carey School of Business at the University of Arizona and STEG will hold a conference in honour of Berthold and his contribution to economics on 4-5 November 2022.
The current programme can be viewed here and we will share the Zoom details nearer the event.
Berthold specialised mainly in macroeconomics and his recent research interests were in growth and development, in particular structural transformation, markups, and productivity growth slowdown. His work has become over the years a mandatory reference for work in this area. He was closely involved in the STEG programme appearing as a lecturer on our "Key Concepts in Macro Development" virtual course.
STEG Annual Conference 2023 - Save the Date
We are pleased to announce our third STEG Annual Conference will take place in London at the London School of Economics and Political Science on 2-3 February 2023.

More details on the events, including the call for papers, will be shared shortly.
