Leading research fellow of the Institute of Economics of Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, PhD in Economics, Associate Professor Nasimi Ahmadov participated in the international virtual training course on Inclusive Growth organized by the Joint Vienna Institute of Austria and the Institute for Capacity Development of the International Monetary Fund on August 31-September 4, 2020.
Originally intended to be presented traditionally in Austria, the course was presented online due to the Covid-19 pandemic and was the subject of interesting and useful discussions.
The aim of the course was to help participants gain a deeper understanding of the concepts of inclusive growth and to provide them with operational tools to evaluate, measure and monitor how macroeconomic policies can affect on economic growth, poverty, inequality and job creation. During the lectures, participants were introduced to the basic concepts of inclusive growth, with a special focus on long-term sustainability, and the workshops provided an opportunity to apply these concepts in practice and think about the design of inclusive growth strategies, based on the country case studies (economics.com.az).
