Kapuscincski Development Lectures 22 February 2018 12:00h This lecture proposes a test between the two main economic views of poverty. In the first, the poor start at a low level of human and physical capital but that does not affect the opportunities they have access to. In the second, the starting level of physical and human capital determines the opportunities individuals have access to, and so two individuals who are identical in terms of preferences and ability, but differ in terms of initial wealth will have very different opportunities. Evidence from a four years panel of over 23K poor households in rural Bangladesh provides strong support to the unequal opportunities view. The poor have access to fewer opportunities and only a sizeable investment can get them out of the poverty trap and onto the same trajectory as those starting out with more resources.
The lecture will be given by Prof. Oriana Bandiera (LSE).

8th World Congress of Cliometrics 04 - 07 July 2017 The spirit of World Clio is one of helpful scholarly discussion. Full papers are available to all participants in advance. Participants are expected to read the papers in advance and to come to sessions prepared for productive discussion. At the conference, authors are given 5 minutes to make an opening statement about the paper and then the floor will be opened for 40 minutes of discussion of the paper.
One of the features of Cliometrics meetings is the opportunity to network with your colleagues outside of the sessions. Part of the conference package includes a reception, a social outing, and a gala dinner, so there will be plenty of opportunities to meet both established scholars in the field and a new generation of economic historians.
The conference will be held at the Strasbourg Convention Center, France. You can officially register for the conference at:
