This year's CRADLE conference, The World at a Turning Point: Cornell Conference on Development Economics and Law, takes stock of the global economy, with a special focus on the changing nature of labor markets, technological progress, inequality, climate change, and related laws and regulations. The three-day event is cosponsored by the Einaudi Center and the Department of Economics in the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S).
Pedro Conceição, director of the United Nations Development Programme's Human Development Report Office, speaks with Arpit Chaturvedi, Cornell MPA ’18 and research manager to CRADLE cofounder and Carl Marks Professor of International Studies Kaushik Basu (A&S).
“Under Pedro Conceicao’s leadership, the Human Development Report has become one of the most important documents coming out of a multilateral institution,” Basu said. "It has widened the meaning of ‘human development’ and does not hesitate to wade into controversial themes and ideas."
