We are pleased to announce the 1st Baltic Central Banks Invited Lecture Series and Conference. The inaugural lecture will be given by Elhanan Helpman. The lecture’s topic is “Frontiers of International Trade” and will cover key elements of modern international trade, including the roles of firm heterogeneity, multinational corporations, and global supply chains.
The lecture is intended for researchers, both at policy institutions and universities, and advanced-level PhD students.
Lectures will be combined with a conference. We welcome paper submissions on topics which overlaps with lecture’s topic i.e., international trade, including the roles of firm heterogeneity, multinational corporations, and global supply chains.
