Call for Application: 

The 5th Summer School on New Structural Economics

Proposed and championed by Professor Justin Yifu Lin, New Structural Economics (NSE) applies a neoclassical approach to study the determinants of structural change with a special focus on how to help developing countries achieve economic transformation. The NSE has been endorsed by renowned economists worldwide, including more than 10 Nobel Laureates such as Joseph Stiglitz, Gary Becker and Michael Spence, and is taken as the third wave in development economics after Structuralism and neoliberalism. The 5th Summer School on New Structural Economics at Peking University aims to select a core group of postgraduate students who are keen to learn theoretical frameworks, empirical application, and methodology of New Structural Economics. The 5th summer school will also include a one-day field visit to gain some first-hand experiences of industrial parks in the city of Wuqiang of Hebei Province in China.
