The RIDGE December Forum aims to favor the spread of high quality research in eco-nomics by bringing together prestigious researchers working on the frontier of knowledge to local and regional researchers and policymakers.

The school intends to provide an intensive training course for graduate students and young researchers who are working in the field of development and international economics. This year the focus will be on social norms in developing countries.

We welcome submissions of individual papers in any field of development economics from researchers based in the Nordic countries and elsewhere.
