On Monday, April 10, a blockbuster panel comprising three of the world's leading economists will examine "Coping with Globalization."
Panelists will include: Bhagwati, University Professor of economics and law at Columbia; Paul Krugman, professor of economics at Princeton University and a New York Times columnist, and Robert Solow, the 1987 Nobel Laureate in Economics. Prominent journalist and Columbia Professor Sylvia Nasar, author of A Beautiful Mind, turns from scientist to economist with opening and concluding remarks.
Three of the world's leading economists today, who have also written elegantly on issues relating to globalization, will come together in a blockbuster panel to discuss the question of "Coping with Globalization." The issue has come to the forefront, especially in France, Germany and the United States, as governments are seized with the problem and seek a coherent and intelligent response to the phenomenon, even as popular writers and protesters in the streets seek to take part in the debate. The prominent economic journalist, Sylvia Nasar, the author of A Beautiful Mind, will present the introductory and concluding remarks.
The conference will begin at 6:15 p.m. in the Low Library Rotunda (doors will open at 5:45 p.m.). Registration is required, but does not guarantee entrance. Seating will be limited so please arrive early to ensure entrance. Registration can be completed at http://www.sipa.columbia.edu/academics/concentrations/iep/register.html.
The conference is sponsored by Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs and Economics Department.
