Workshops and Lectures
Simon Kuznets Lecture Series
Faculty members of the Economic Growth Center at Yale founded the Simon Kuznets Lecture Series in 1986. The series honors the late Simon Kuznets who helped establish the Center in 1961 and received the Nobel Prize in economics in 1971. The series is dedicated to "Quantitative Aspects of the Economic Growth of Nations," the title Kuznets gave to his pioneering series of ten short monographs that were published by Economic Development and Cultural Change between 1956 and 1967.
The 22nd Kuznets Lecture will be presented by Justin Yifu Lin from The World Bank on March 1, 2011. His subject will be "New Structural Economics: A Framework for Rethinking Development."
The 21st Kuznets Lecture was presented by Robert Allen from Oxford University on October 7, 2010. His subject will be "Why Was the Industrial Revolution British?"
The 20th Kuznets Lecture was presented by Oded Galor from Brown University. For the formal lecture on April 16, 2009, Professor Galor's topic was "Unified Growth Theory and Comparative Economic Development." On April 15, he presented a lecture to a graduate class in economic development, "Inequality and the Process of Development: A Unified Perspective."
