RCEF is the main, biennial conference series of RCEA, assembling a group of leading economists to present and discuss their work at the cutting edge of economic research. The conference alternates between Italy and Canada, but with a different focus each time.

Plenary Speakers: Elhanan Helpman (Harvard), Charles Jones (Stanford), Malcolm Knight (LSE and CIGI) and James A. Robinson (Chicago). The conference is organized by the Rimini Centre for Economic Analysis (RCEA) and will be held at Wilfrid Laurier University and at the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI). We expect around 200 high-quality presentations.
