Virtual lecture-discussion - “Innovative tools for measurement of regional economic development progression"

Lithuania  

PASCAL Africa Associates, Prof. Daniel, and his wife Assoc. Prof. Natanya Meyer will be part of a webinar doing a presentation on: “Innovative tools for measurement of regional economic development progression”.

Background: Economic development and the measurement of progress over time is important to determine successful implementation of policies and strategies. A gap in the measurement of economic development exists especially on a regional level and the use of HDI and GDP per capita as tools are not effective.

Over the last 5 years, a number of innovative regional development measurement tools were developed including the Multi-dimensional Regional Economic Development Index (MREDI). The tools could be used in both leading and lagging regions and assists with policy and strategy formulation.

"How innovations are important for regional development?"
