The aim of the fourth research workshop was to provide Indonesian research institutes with a platform to present and discuss their current research in the area of economic development and policy with particular focuses on:
- macroeconomics, trade, and industry;
- social policy, labor markets, and human capital;
- sociopolitical economy and governance; and
- agriculture, environment, and resources.
The two-day research workshop included one day of paper presentations by the winners of the call for papers and one day of presentations by the recipients of the 2015/2016 research grants. The selected papers were discussed in detail by senior researchers from Australia and Indonesia.
