The Bolivian Conference on Development Economics aims to bring together local and international scholars for the exchange of ideas and discussion of recent research on all areas related to economic development. We welcome theoretical and applied research submissions, and we particularly encourage female scholars and Bolivian scholars at an early stage in their careers to submit their work.
