WEFIDEV, The Review of Financial Studies (RFS) and Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) are jointly organizing the 2025 WEFIDEV-RFS-CEPR Conference.
The event was held at the LSE on 28th and 29th March, 2025 and was by invitation only.
For further information and the programme, please visit the conference website.
The event was supported by the International Growth Centre (IGC)'s Agri-SME Evidence Fund. Funded by Aceli Africa, the evidence fund aims to understand the mechanisms and impact of the flow of catalytic capital to agri-SMEs to improve livelihoods and environmental performance. It promotes high-quality academic research at the intersection of agriculture, finance and SMs, and has a geographic focus on East Africa. We also thank the John Templeton Foundation (grant 62616), which financially supports our conference, and the LSE FMG for organisational support.
