Nordic Conference in Development Economics, NCDE 2023

Welcome to the 21st Nordic Conference in Development Economics which will be held in Gothenburg, Sweden on June 13-15, 2023.

This yearly conference serves as a meeting point for development economists active in the Nordic countries, but is also targeted more generally to academic researchers in Europe and beyond with a special aim to provide an arena for junior scholars to present their work. 

We gratefully acknowledge financial support of the conference from Jan Wallanders och Tom Hedelius stiftelse & Tore Browaldhs stiftelse, and from the School of Business, Economics and Law (Handelshögskolan), University of Gothenburg, through the Partnership Programme Internationalization Support 2023.
