Annual Bank Conference on Development Economics 2025: Development in the Age of Populism

to Jul 25

Annual Bank Conference on Development Economics 2025: Development in the Age of Populism

“By most measures of human progress, the world is in better shape today than it has ever been—in life expectancy, in per capita GDP, in literacy rates, among other things. Yet, profound dissatisfaction has taken root in many countries, at every level of income. The global economic system that has powered much of this progress over the last 80 years is now widely regarded as broken. Nearly two-thirds of the global electorate went to the polls last year to register their displeasure regarding income inequality, cultural insecurity, and elite institutions.

Populism, in short, is ascendant to an unusually synchronized degree, fueled by a fragmenting public consensus on the policies needed for economic progress. It will pose a formidable development challenge in the coming years.

ABCDE—scheduled for July 22 to 25 and organized by the World Bank in conjunction with the Center for Global Development and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy—aims to assess the developments during the last decade, analyze the causes, and adjust our approach to economic progress.

Bringing together some of the world’s leading economic thinkers, the conference will help identify the best way forward—with deep dives on key topics such as artificial intelligence, migration, nutrition and health, and pollution, and a geographical focus that spans the world. Attendees will explore geopolitical shifts; unilateralism and multilateralism; and growth and opportunity.”

Case Study as Research Method
May
21

Case Study as Research Method

“Although case study methods remain a controversial approach to data collection, it is an established research design that is widely recognised in many social science and business studies, especially when in-depth explanations of a social behaviour are sought after. One of the reasons for the recognition of case study as a research method is that researchers were becoming more concerned about the limitations of quantitative methods in providing holistic and in-depth explanations of the social and behavioural problems in question. Through case study methods, a researcher is able to go beyond the quantitative statistical results and understand the behavioural conditions through the actor’s perspective. And we will conclude with the answer to the question: “Can I have a case study of one”?”

What is a literature review in the age of AI?
Mar

What is a literature review in the age of AI?

“Join Gary Thomas, author of the newly published ‘How to Do Your Literature Review’ as he addresses these questions – and more – to do with literature review.

Gary will discuss the literature review as part of a wider student research project and as an assessed project in its own right. In particular, he will look at the new AI tools that exist to help with literature review and he will discuss the merits (and demerits) of these tools.

He will go on to look at how human intelligence can structure a review in ways that AI cannot. He will look at various forms of organisation of a review – funnelling, chronological, thematic, comparison-based – that give coherence and integrity to a review and take it to a level that AI cannot achieve. Students can be encouraged to use such forms of organisation in ways that will enable them to rise above the list-like summaries offered by AI.”
