The Hoover Institution hosts Inputs to Prosperous Economies: Spring 2023 Conference Of The Working Group on the Foundations of Long-run Prosperity on June 8–9, 2023.
The Spring 2023 conference of the Working Group on the Foundations of Long-Run Prosperity examines the building blocks of—and impediments to—prosperous economies. How do states develop the capacity provide public goods and regulate markets? What policies maximize—or diminish—the investments in human capital? Which institutions encourage innovation, and which institutions frustrate it? What are the circumstances in which people chose to become entrepreneurs?
