Finance & Development Researchers: I am very excited for the 2025 WEFIDEV-RFS-CEPR conference on March 28 & 29 at LSE, London. This will be the first of three annual conferences with a dual submission option with RFS. The deadline is December 1st and the call for papers is available here.
In September 2023, I was awarded an ERC Starting Grant from the European Research Council for my project "Financial Institutions and Development - FINDEV" for the years 2023 - 2028. You can find a synopsis and a video at these links!
