The ECA Academy is organized annually by the Office of the ECA Chief Economist. The ECA Academy competition identifies the best new policy-relevant research from across the World Bank Group on topics of interest to the ECA region. The papers are evaluated based on technical quality, originality, and operational relevance. They represent the best new research relevant to ECA from across the World Bank Group, and they combine a high degree of technical rigor with a commitment to identifying relevant policy advice for Bank clients.

We invite everyone to participate in the presentation of 2021 ECA Academy Winning Papers. The online event will start on July 6, 2022 at 10:00 AM EDT. Join us on YOUTUBE!
