Towards Sustainable Growth

The “Towards Sustainable Growth” research group aims to share and discuss the latest and most innovative developments in macro-development, seeking to understand the root causes and consequences of economic disparities and development both within and across countries. The research group will serve as a forum for junior and senior scholars to discuss cutting-edge research in economic growth, trade, and economic history. Their research addresses critical questions about how economies transition from traditional to modern structures, the roles of different sectors in this process, and the impacts of historical events and policy decisions on long-term economic outcomes. Emphasizing the Latin American and Caribbean region, the group explores the unique challenges and opportunities these economies face in pursuing sustainable development.
