NCAER-EABER Conference: Micro-Economic Foundations of Economic Policy Performance in Asia (New Delhi: 3-4 April 2008)

In 2008 EABER started a five year project on Advancing Economic Integration in South and East Asia which was had its first conference in New Delhi with the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) in April.

The project brings together EABER institutes from East Asia and a new network of South Asian research institutes. It is the only one of its kind that brings South Asian and East Asian researchers together to share experiences, policy performance, best practice methodologies and create a much needed dialogue where there has not been one.

The next conference is set for Beijing later this year and will focus on macro and finance issues.
