The Melbourne Institute and the Department of Economics at the University of Melbourne hosted the 19th Australasian Development Economics Workshop (ADEW) in Melbourne, Australia on Thursday 6 and Friday 7 June 2024.

The ADEW is an annual workshop bringing together development economists from around Australia and internationally. The event provides a forum for rigorous research in the field of development economics, with a particular focus on the Asia-Pacific region. ADEW seeks to deepen knowledge on major development economics issues in the region and engage with the academic and policy communities with an interest in this area. More information about past ADEWs can be found here.

This workshop had financial support from the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).
