Professor Juhasz has significantly contributed to the recent revival of research and the international discussion on industrial policy. In this lecture she will, in a first part, discuss what modern industrial policy entails and what the economic rationale for industrial policy is. In the second part of the talk she will cover what the new empirical literature has to say about the efficacy of industrial policy. The third part of the talk touches on where new research on industrial policy is headed, highlighting work on how to constructively confront the very real political economy challenges to implementation, and how industrial policy might evolve in the new geo-political context and be consistent with a rules-based trading system.
The lecture will be followed by a panel discussion on "Industrial Policy in the New Geo-political Context".
