SMU Trade Workshop 2019

The SMU-INSEAD International Economics Workshop is a joint collaboration between Singapore Management University and INSEAD. It has the objective to bring together field experts in international economics to share and discuss their latest research. The workshop also provides a forum for local economists to present their work and to collect feedbacks from the field experts. This year we are inviting two keynote speakers Professor Jonathan Vogel and Professor Thomas Chaney. The workshop will be held at INSEAD this year over a period of two days on 19 - 20 June 2019.
