INET Young Scholars Workshop in Hong Kong
INET is holding a graduate student workshop prior to its upcoming plenary conference in Hong Kong on April 4-7.
The 2-day workshop consists of a mini course in 20th century history of economic thought and another mini course on statistical learning. Plus, there will be student presentations. INET covers expenses for travel and hotel — this should be quite attractive for students. Details here:

“Rather than try to repel the advance of the machine, which is all that the Luddites could imagine, we should prepare for a future of more leisure, which automation makes possible. But, to do that, we first need a revolution in social thinking.”
