Jointly organized by the World Bank Enterprise Surveys (https://www.enterprisesurveys.org/en/enterprisesurveys), George Washington University (https://www.gwu.edu), and Georgetown University (https://www.georgetown.edu), this conference will explore resource misallocation, market competition, and the economics of innovation, which sit at the heart of today's productivity debates. The conference brings together leading economists to examine how distortions in factor markets, market power, and innovation incentives shape firm productivity across economies. Using new firm-level evidence from diverse economies, speakers will explore how competition and creative destruction drive aggregate growth, and the policy implications for reducing misallocation and unlocking productivity gains.
