The Department of Economics at the University of Copenhagen and its Development Economics Research Group (DERG) is organising the next Nordic Conference in Development Economics (NCDE) to be held on 18-19 June 2007. The conference aims at bringing together Nordic and international scholars for exchange of ideas and discussion of recent results within theoretical and applied development economics research. We particularly encourage young researchers based in the Nordic countries (independent of nationality) to submit papers on all topics within the field of development economics. The Conference is an annual event and this year features two prominent keynote speakers. All participants must cover their own travel and accommodation costs, but the organizers will help facilitate contact with a hotel in central Copenhagen where reduced prices will apply.
