A conference aims to take stock of what we know about industrial policy.

Industrial policy is back on mainstream policy agendas in the U.S., Europe, and many developing countries, but the knowledge base to guide industrial policy remains underdeveloped.

Rep. Ro Khanna will be the keynote speaker at “New Thinking in Industrial Policy: Perspectives from Developed and Developing Countries”, a conference to convene leading researchers from economics, sociology, political science, and related fields to take stock of what is known and what needs to be learned about the optimal design of industrial policy, the challenges in evaluating interventions empirically, and the difficulties that practitioners face on the ground.

The conference will cover two nights' hotel accommodation and reasonable travel costs (economy class for flights) for speakers.

The conference will be hosted by the Initiative for Policy Dialogue (IPD), the Firms & Industrial Policy Idea Lab of the Center for Political Economy (CPE), the Center for Development Economics and Policy (CDEP), and the Institute of Global Politics (IGP).
