SUMMARY:Private-Public Collaboration in Productive Development Policies: The Experience of the Argentine Mesas Sectoriales\, 2016-2019
DESCRIPTION:Watch the event recording of this seminar and download the presentation slide deck.  	Joint work by Martin Obaya and Ernesto Stein analyzes Argentina’s experience with the Mesas Sectoriales (or sectoral roundtables)\, a public-private dialogue instrument deployed during the Macri administration\, under the responsibility of the Ministry of Production. After an unsuccessful first attempt during which they did not garner the necessary political support\, the mesas sectoriales became a key instrument of public policy at the sector level. Their objective was to identify the main obstacles to the development of specific sectors –such as missing or inadequate regulations\, missing public inputs\, lack of coordination across public sector agencies\, etc– and quickly move from dialogue and diagnosis into action\, coordinating the public sector response in order to provide the necessary solutions. After discussing where the mesas sectoriales fit within the broader scope of productive development policies\, we analyze their main characteristics and participants\, as well as the key areas of action: simplification\, quality and internationalization\, and labor issues. We discuss some of the ingredients that made them successful\, and extract a few key policy lessons. 	About the speaker: Ernesto Stein is Principal Economist at the Inter-American Development Bank’s Research Department. He has previously been the IDB’s Regional Economic Advisor in the Country Department of Belize\, Central America\, Mexico\, Panama and the Dominican Republic\, and a Growth Fellow at Harvard University’s Center for International Development. He has published extensively on issues of international trade and integration\, foreign direct investment\, productive development policies\, institutional economics and political economy. A native of Argentina\, he holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of California at Berkeley.

SUMMARY:Global Launch of Metroverse: The Growth Lab's Urban Economy Navigator
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the global launch of our new data visualization tool\, Metroverse: The Growth Lab’s Urban Economy Navigator. The platform is designed to provide policymakers\, businesses\, and civil society with unprecedented economic data for more than 1\,000 cities in 79 countries. The insights are centered on five key questions: 			What is the economic composition of my city?				What does my city specialize in?				What cities are similar to my city?				What is my city’s position in the Industry Space?				What are the growth opportunities?		This platform builds upon the Growth Lab’s Atlas of Economic Complexity\, which maps the productive capabilities of about 200 countries and their capacity for growth and development. With Metroverse\, we explore at the level where many of a nation’s capabilities reside: its cities and local workforces. The tool vividly illustrates the technological capabilities that underpin a city’s economy and its’ opportunities for future growth and diversification.  	The event will feature a presentation by Growth Lab Director Ricardo Hausmann\, Frank Neffke\, and Annie White\, who will conduct a demonstration of how to utilize the tool and provide insights into the research and technology behind the tool. We look forward to showcasing the new tool to you and ask that you register in advance if you plan to attend.

SUMMARY:Balance Sheets and Debt Crisis: Predicting Defaults in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:Debt crises are more than just a story about primary balances. Sectoral balance sheets\, particularly the net worth of households and banks\, play an important role in determining whether an episode of increased rollover risk will deteriorate into full-blown default. \n	In this seminar\, Gon Huertas will present on ‘Balance Sheets and Debt Crisis: Empirical Regularities for Modern Cases of Sovereign Distress‘\, a research paper published by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The paper presents the stylized facts surrounding debt crises from 1990 to 2019: the behavior of government finances\, aggregate macroeconomic variables\, and the accompanying changes in the net worth of the private sector. We then use a logistic model to estimate the probability of undergoing default for a panel of 75 countries\, finding that the net worth of the household and banking sectors is a significant predictor in addition to the usual flow variables included in standard debt sustainability analyses.  \n	Please register in advance to secure your spot at this event. \nAbout the Speaker: Gon Huertas is a macroeconomist working for the International Monetary Fund\, and a lecturer on macroeconomics at George Washington University. His current research focuses on the spillovers of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy on emerging markets. Previously\, he worked at the Peterson Institute for International Economics and the Cabinet of Ministers of Argentina.

SUMMARY:PKU-Growth Lab Workshop II: New Economic Geographies in a Changing World
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Frank Neffke\, Research Director\, Growth LabGary Gereffi\, Emeritus Professor of Sociology; Director\, Global Value Chains Center\, Duke UniversityDavid Rigby\, Professor\, University of California-Los Angeles 	Please register in advance for this event.  	The long-term development paths of countries and regions are shaped by a never-ending process of restructuring\, with some countries and regions achieving fast growth over longer periods while others being locked into a trajectory of relative and sometimes absolute decline. Nonetheless\, in some cases\, some lagging regions and countries find renewed growth and previously vibrant countries and regions may lose momentum. It appears that economic restructuring benefits some countries and regions and put others at a disadvantage. The set of existing economic\, political\, and social and cultural activities and functions in a countries or region is important in this regard\, and will determine whether a country or region can be at the forefront of such restructurings\, can position itself to benefit from new rounds of investment and innovation\, and can achieve more sustainable development\, or instead will lose out and become marginalized. The variety in the development of countries and regions in the context of constant restructuring in the economy defies predictions of a clear-cut convergence or divergence\, and instead leads to an intricate pattern of uneven development depending on a multitude of factors. Such combined and uneven development between countries and regions has of course long been a central research topic within economic geography\, regional science and urban studies. 	The aim of this workshop is to think about how to better conceptualize and empirically explore the development of (and between) countries and regions. This is particularly timely for several reasons. First\, countries and regions have assumed increasing prominence over the past few decades in discussions about economic development\, and with this there is a renewed interest in explaining deep-rooted differences in performance. Second\, evolutionary perspectives and transitions to sustainable development have established themselves as key reference points in theorizing current economic\, social and environmental challenges. Yet more work needs to be done to further develop these conceptual advances for understanding the long-term development of countries and regions and the necessary spatial governance\, and for working out relevant policy implications. Finally\, a new round of restructuring in the world economy\, triggered by the 2007/8 global economic crisis and the outbreak of COVID-19\, has been taking place. Consequently\, we have reached a critical juncture to rethink our conceptualization of the world economy and regional economic development. At this juncture\, there also appears scope for more interaction between scholars from different parts of the world. 	Visit the workshop website for more information about the agenda and speakers.

Our flagship tool\, the Atlas of Economic Complexity\, exemplifies this collaboration by showcasing research\, datasets and pedagogy developed across multidisciplinary teams and countless iterations. Since its launch in 2013\, the Atlas has been complimented by sub-national Atlases\, country dashboards\, interactive stories\, open source software packages and working prototypes.  	  	All projects found on the Viz Hub are built in-house by the Growth Lab’s Digital Development & Design Team\, an interdisciplinary group that connects economic and policy research with best practices from information design\, software development\, data science\, product management and digital humanities. We believe that easy-to-use software can be a vital channel to effectively interpret and analyze complex concepts.
