VDEV-CEPR-BREAD Seminars - 56

VDEV/CEPR/BREAD Seminars is an online seminar series, featuring invited speakers in the area of Development Economics. It was set up in the spring semester of 2020 as the VDEV seminar and is now organised jointly by the group of researchers below, CEPR and BREAD. The seminars are held on Zoom and consist of a 45-minute presentation, followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. A moderator collects questions on the chat and selects a few of general interest to be asked to the speaker at reasonable intervals to keep the flow of the seminar. All participants are muted, and interactions with the speaker are through the chat with the moderator. In the Q&A portion the moderator opens the microphone up to those participants who have indicated they have a question in the chat with the moderator.

The Fall 2024 sessions of the Virtual Development Economics Series will start on the 24th of September and will take place virtually, bi-weekly on Tuesdays at 16:00 (London time) until the 3rd of December. The seminars will run for 45 minutes with 15 minutes for further discussion.
