| International Conference on Infrastructure Economics and Development | | Jan 14-15, 2010 |
In the context of a wider collaboration, the Institut d'Economie Industrielle (IDEI) in Toulouse and the Development Economics Vice Presidency (DEC) and Sustainable Development Network (SDN) of the World Bank are organizing, with the Public Private Infrastructure Initiative (PPIAF) and the Agence Française de Développement (AFD), the first annual International Conference on Infrastructure Economics and Development to stimulate research on these issues. This conference aims at taking stock of recent advances and research challenges. To do so, we plan to gather the best researchers in the field, both from the academic world and from more policy-oriented backgrounds, to exchange ideas and insights in a two-day conference organized at IDEI-Toulouse.
An indicative list of topics that could be addressed by the conference, both at the theoretical and empirical level, includes:
- Impact evaluation of infrastructure at the household and the firm level
- Infrastructure and social policies
- Infrastructure and industrial policies
- Infrastructure and economic geography
- Governance and capacity issues
- Regulation issues
- Public versus private ownership of infrastructure
- Political economy issues
- Climate change and infrastructure, including infrastructure regulation
- Financial issues as they relate to infrastructure
