War, Genocide and Economic Growth

Tomorrow's brown bag seminar (Thursday 10/19, 11:30am-1pm in HW 1537) will be given by Nils-Petter Lagerlöf from York University (on leave at Brown) who will present: War and Genocide: Is There a Connection to Transitions From Stagnation to Growth?

Now you know why we're called the Dismal Science. This should be a provocative talk combining both empirical analysis and growth theory. Matt Baker will be the next speaker on 11/2 with his talk on "Technological Progress, Property Rights, and Population Growth: A Structural Model of the Transition to Agriculture."

The entire schedule is online. All BA/MA students warmly invited to attend.
