HKUST’s Department of Economics hosted a reception at the Econometric Society World Congress, which gathered over 160 distinguished scholars to facilitate discussions and foster connections in the field of economics. This event marked a notable achievement, as the Department of Economics was the only academic unit to organize a reception during the Congress, reflecting its efforts to connect the global academic community and advance the discipline of economics.
The Econometric Society World Congress, held every five years, serves as a premier global platform attracting leading minds in economics from around the world. This year's Congress took place in Seoul and featured a range of keynote speeches, panel discussions, and presentations focused on cutting-edge economic research.
