A conversation with Prof. Luis Ravina, director of the NCID about his career, the research of the Navarra Center for International Development and more broadly about the status of the International Development research in Spain.
The NCID is an interdisciplinary team of economists, political scientists, sociologists and more that strive to alleviate extreme poverty in the world’s poorest countries. It's focus on three interrelated themes: technology transfer, migration, and institutional development as ways to exit extreme poverty. Also, the NCID conducts case studies on a country or region where a policy has successfully helped a population exit poverty, and then see if that policy can be reapplied, adapting for local circumstances, to other poor countries. Through applied research, the NCID team intend to generate ideas to solve chronic social problems associated with poverty.
Speaker: Luis Ravina is the Director of the Navarra Center for International Development and Professor of International Economy at the University of Navarra. He served as the Dean of the School of Economics and Business Administration of University of Navarra from 1993-2008.
