The CICSE Lectures on Growth and Development
 
The Economics and Politics of Corruption
by Costas Azariadis (Washington University in St. Louis, USA)

 

25-27 June 2015
Palazzo Ricca, Istituto Banco di Napoli – Fondazione
Naples, Italy
 

The CICSE Lectures are planned to provide invited scholars with the opportunity to recollect and reorganize their ideas, to present them in a more general format, to provide proofs of special cases or some empirical studies that in short presentations like that of an article of a journal cannot be exhaustively treated, and to provide deeper analyses of some points. Once delivered a set of Lectures are collected in a book published by Cambridge University Press in the ‘CICSE Lectures on Growth and Development’ Series. The first set of Lectures was delivered by Professor Stephen J. Turnovsky on ‘Capital Accumulation and Economic Growth in a Small Open Economy’; the book is currently available both in hardback and in paperback. The second set of Lectures was delivered by Oded Galor on ‘Inequality and the Process of Development’ and the book is under revision. The third set of Lectures was delivered by Prof. David de la Croix on ‘Fertility, Education, Growth, and Sustainability’; the book is currently available both in hardback and in paperback. The three lectures by Prof. Costas Azariadis are on ‘The Economics and Politics of Corruption’ More precisely they are on: Lecture 1 (June 25) – The Underground Economy; Lecture 2 (June 26) – Corruption and Property Rights; Lecture 3 (June 27) – The Politics of Slow Growth. All interested scholars are free to attend the CICSE Lectures at Palazzo Ricca, Via dei Tribunali 213, Naples, Italy, but they need to be registered within June 1, 2015. Registration is possible through the page:

Call for Posters

The afternoon of June 26 will be devoted to a Poster Session with the Costas Azariadis’s participation. For the call for paper with additional information and the deadline for application, click here. The deadline for delivering a poster is May 15, 2015.

Maximum 1 page length abstract (including Title, Authors, Institutional Affiliation, JEL Classification and Keywords) will be printed and provided to CICSE Lectures participants.

Poster Format:

 

Suggestions:

•    Title, Authors and Institutional Affiliation: Prepare a six inch strip at the top that runs the length of the poster. In this strip, include the title of the research, authors, and institutional affiliations. Lettering height should be no less than three inches. The text of the paper should be visible from as far away as one metre.
•    Abstract: Display a one-page typed abstract on the paper in the upper-left hand corner of the display, directly under the title strip.  It must be readable from one metre and half away.
•    Hypotheses, Graphs and Tables: If clearly stated and simply displayed, these allow the reader to understand the research without extensive written explanation.  Briefly identify the research design and relevant literature as well.
•    Clear Sequence: The layout of your findings should follow the sequence of the paper clearly. Numbering figures or using arrows greatly aid the reader's quick absorption of material.
•    Avoid Clutter: Do not clutter the presentation with too many figures and avoid too much written material. The benefit of the poster presentations is the reliance on graphical display to spark interest in reading the entire paper. More open space is easier on the eye and its simplicity supports the clarity of presentation.
•    Plan Ahead: Preview your presentation prior to going to the meeting to make sure everything appears clear from one metre and half away.
