This year, the focus will be on the Dynamic Theory of Economic Complexity.

More information on the schedule is coming soon.

Keynote:
Corinne Autant-Bernard (Saint-Etienne School of Economics, Jean Monnet University)
Proximity and knowledge flows
Ever since the production and dissemination of knowledge were identified as central levers of economic growth and development, numerous empirical studies have attempted to quantify the extent of knowledge externalities and understand the conditions under which they arise. This presentation will question the results of these empirical studies that have been developed over the last 40 years: How does the literature account for knowledge externalities and the role of distance, both geographical and social? What are the difficulties encountered in identifying knowledge externalities and the role of proximity in the knowledge diffusion mechanisms? And what new research directions are emerging to better account for these phenomena?
