Geoeconomics is reshaping global power dynamics, as nations use economic policies to assert influence in an increasingly fractured world, and geopolitical dynamics are prompting Europe to confront new economic and security challenges.

The conference, organized by CEPR and the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, hosted at and supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, will bring together world-leading scholars and political decisionmakers to foster intellectual exchange about the link between economics and geopolitics at the highest level.

Conference highlights:

We are honored that German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action Robert Habeck will join us and speak on the topic of the new economics of European security.

The Kiel Institute's 2024 Bernhard Harms Prize one of Europe’s leading awards in the field of international economics, will be awarded to Hélène Rey, Lord Bagri Professor of Economics at London Business School for her outstanding work in international macroeconomics and finance.

Our Geoeconomics conference is now in its 3rd year and has become a premier event on the topic (see the 2023 and 2022 program.) Our goal is to bring together the world's leading researchers working on Geoeconomics, broadly defined. We will cut across fields, thus including research in international trade, international finance and macroeconomics, finance, political economy, economic history, or international relations.

In 2024, the conference will be hosted at und supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK). The event is further supported by the CEPR RPN on Geoeconomics, the CEPR RPN on International Lending and Sovereign Debt, the research project ReCIPE, the Institute for European Policymaking at Bocconi University, and SciencesPo.
