Agenda 12 - 18 Juni 2022

This event will be held both online and physically in Leiden. All registrees will receive a link to the online platform one day before the start of the event.  Religion is of not the focus of many policy minded economists studying sub-Saharan Africa; yet, there are important overlaps. The economics of religion is a growing sub-field which provides new tools and theories to explore the ways religious beliefs and practices affect economic outcomes. In this talk, Dr Amma Panin (University of Louvain) will argue for the importance of the overlap between religion and policy in sub-Saharan Africa by highlighting recent advances in how economists study religion, with results that touch on institutions, beliefs and governance. Speaker: Dr Amma Panin
