INDUSTRIAL POLICY AND THE ROLE OF THE STATE IN PROMOTING GROWTH: A PANEL DISCUSSION FEATURING WILLIAM EASTERLY, ANN HARRISON AND JUSTIN YIFU LIN
Date: 9/14/2009 - 9/14/2009
Industrial policy remains one of the most controversial issues in development economics. On September 14, 2009, the World Bank’s Development Research Group (DECRG) hosted a panel debate “Industrial Policy and the Role of the State in Promoting Growth.” The panel was comprised of three speakers: William Easterly (Professor, New York University), Ann Harrison (Research Manager, DECG) and Justin Lin (World Bank Chief Economist and Senior Vice President.) The debate addressed the big questions concerning industrial policy—what are the market or policy failures involved? What is the effectiveness of industrial policy today?
