The International Economics Association (IEA) will organise a Zoom webinar on the economic and geopolitical implications of the US-China technology race on Wednesday 6 April 2022, from 14:00 (Hungarian time). The speaker will be Graham Allison, Professor and former Dean of the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. Invited speakers include Nobel Laureate Michael Spence, Professor at Stanford University and Xue Lan, Dean of Schwarzman College. The discussion will be moderated by Dani Rodrik, Professor at Harvard University and President of the IEA.
In short, the objective of the event is to examine the features of a new global economic order that can serve multiple purposes: accommodate countries like China, with economic systems that differ greatly from those in the West; allow advanced and other nations to pursue their domestic economic and social objectives; and maintain a global trade and financial regime that does not foreclose economic opportunities to developing nations.
