Hoover Institution Conference Examines the Paths and Pitfalls on the Road to Economic Development

The Hoover Institution’s Program on Long-Run Prosperity, cochaired by Hoover senior fellows Stephen Haber and Amit Seru, held its spring 2024 conference on March 28 and 29, 2024.

Path Towards Prosperity: Institutions & Development

The Hoover Institution hosts Path Towards Prosperity: Institutions & Development: Spring 2024 Conference of the Program on Long-Run Prosperity on March 28–29, 2024.

The historical record shows us that the path to economic prosperity is not linear or uniform. Historical contingencies, technology, and institutions interact in ways that can be explained ex-post but not predicted ex-ante. Some paths of development turn out to lead to stagnation, and others to sustained growth. This conference examines these factors that impact development trajectories.
