About the conference
A meeting point for research on economic development
The Bolivian Conference on Development Economics aims at bringing together local and international scholars for the exchange of ideas and discussion of recent research on all areas related to economic development. We welcome submissions of theoretical and applied research, and we particularly encourage female and Bolivian scholars at an early stage in their careers to submit their work. The conference is organized by the Bolivian Society of Economists (SEBOL), with support from the Institute for Advanced Development Studies (INESAD), the Bolivian Academy of Economic Sciences (ABCE), and Universidad Privada Boliviana (UPB). The conference this year will host special sessions celebrating the launch of the Bolivian chapter of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) and the launch of the Municipal Atlas of the SDGs in Bolivia.
