Equitable Growth Grantee Conference 2018

The Washington Center for Equitable Growth will host its second grantee conference on Thursday, September 27, in Washington, D.C. The conference will feature formal and informal conversations about the latest research investigating the various channels through which economic inequality may or may not impact economic growth and stability. It will comprise four sessions with invited Equitable Growth grantees presenting works-in-progress, with time during each session for discussion and engagement with all attendees. Each presentation will include an assigned discussant who is also a grantee or member of Equitable Growth’s Steering Committee (opens in a new tab) or Research Advisory Board (opens in a new tab). The conference will close with a private dinner.
