Ninth CEPR Economic History Symposium 2021

The Historical Economics and Development Group HEDG at the University of Southern Denmark has been approached by the UK-based Centre for Economic Policy Research CEPR with regards to hosting their 2021 Economic History Symposium. The aim of the symposium is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas within the Economic History research programme at CEPR. The goal is to promote comparative and pan-European economic history, moving away from disjointed national histories and seeks to improve our statistical knowledge of the European past. Moreover, it seeks to promote economic history which is presentist , using the past to illuminate current debates on macroeconomic policy, economic growth, globalization, and other pressing policy issues.
