In collaboration with the Project for Equity, Representation, and Governance (PERG), the EUC is hosting a mini-conference that brings together experts on political economy and public policy to discuss the dynamic nature of various relationships between these two fields. The focus will be on projects that highlight the multiple ways that economics affects the actions of governments, organizations, and individuals through various types of policies. Paper topics include current research on foreign aid delivery, patronage relationships, and popular support for welfare policies.
