About this event

In this lecture, Professor John Van Reenen discusses the policy levers governments can use to incentivize and support innovation. This is the eighth lecture in the Economics of Ideas, Science, and Innovation series, a PhD-level course sponsored by the Institute for Progress. Over 11 hour-long lectures, we'll study how science supports economic growth, how ideas differ from typical economic goods, how AI influences innovation, and more. Each is taught by a different expert - truly a who's who of innovation economics.


Participants are expected to adhere to the CEP Events Code of Conduct.
