Political Economy Group

LACEA’S Political Economy Group (PEG) was created in 1998 by a group of members of the Association interested in improving the dissemination of ideas in the specific area of Political Economy. The general focus of this group is Political Economy, with special interest in interdisciplinary contributions. Original PEG members included Mariano Tommasi, Andrés Velasco, Pablo Spiller, Nora Lustig, Jorge Streb, Ernesto Stein, and Mauricio Cárdenas.

The idea of the PEG’s Annual Workshop is to encourage interaction and cross-fertilization between paper presenters, policymakers, and researchers.
