- Prof Ronald Findlay delivered the thirteenth Annual UNU-WIDER Lecture on 21 October at the Marina Congress Center, Helsinki on The Trade-Development Nexus in Theory and History. The lecture explored the theoretical and empirical links between international trade and economic development over a wide range of space and time, drawing on models and ideas based on his previous work and that of others. Special attention paid to such topics as the spice trade, the Silk Road, the 'triangular trade' between Europe, Africa and the New World, and the causes and consequences of the Industrial Revolution. Finally it will attempt to make some observations about the current state and future prospects of the world economy.
