Structural Change: Analyses, Experiences and Methodologies
3-16 June 2009
Application deadline: 8 May 2009
Over the last few years the international debate on economic policies, and especially on development policies, witnessed the emergence of views alternative to the Washington consensus. The current economic events at the world level – people are more worried about deflation than inflation, industrialists are asking the governments to spend more rather than less, etc. – make a full understanding of such alternative views more needed than ever.
The Summer School is organized in two parts. The first aims at providing participants with a good knowledge of the main theories belonging to the tradition of the so called “heterodox economics”, which constitute the intellectual background of the alternative views mentioned before. The second part aims at providing participants with the technical skills needed to build the so called heterodox Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models, an analytical tool through which the above mentioned views may be translated into concrete calculations on the likely effects of different sets of alternative economic policies.
