BREAD Asia 2024 Strengthens International Collaboration in Development Research

BREAD Asia 2024 Strengthens International Collaboration in Development Research

We are thrilled to have co-hosted the prestigious Asia BREAD conference, uniting over 60 top development economists from across Asia and leading US and UK institutions, including Nobel laureate Abhijeet Banerjee (MIT), ADB Chief Economist Albert Park, and Professor Imran Rasul (UCL).

Founded in 2002, BREAD is a non-profit organisation dedicated to advancing research in development economics. This year marked a significant milestone, as it was the first time this esteemed conference was held in Asia, fostering collaboration among Asian economists and enhancing networks in the region.

Our co-organiser, Prof. Gedeon Lim , along with faculty members Prof. Bingjing Li, Prof. Yiming Cao, and Prof. Guojun He, worked closely with NUS to make this event a success. Highlights included Prof. Banerjee’s thought-provoking insights on critical issues like gender and the environment, as well as Prof. Park’s focus on evidence-based research and encouraging collaboration.

We can’t wait for the next Asia BREAD conference in 2027!
