Industrial policy in times of pandemic – The risks and benefits of government intervention to #buildbackbetter

Many support the idea of using Post-Covid economic stimuli to promote structural change (#buildbackbetter), investing e.g. in green technologies and digital capabilities. But, how technology-specific should such investment be and what does the industrial policy debate tell us in this regard? What are the best investments to #buildbackbetter?

A joint online event, organised by the German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Enwicklungspolitik (DIE), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the Poverty Reduction, Equity and Growth Network (PEGNET) addresses theses questions during an online event on 14 September 2020.
