The Center for Evaluation and Development (C4ED) hosts a research conference on Development Economics from November 29 to December 1, 2017, in Mannheim (Germany).
The conference will give both applied econometricians and development economists the opportunity to learn about and discuss recent rigorous empirical research in developing countries, particularly impact evaluation methods.
