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: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.
