Productivity Research Network (PRN)
Fourth Conference – Productivity, financial constraints and labour decisions of SMEs The University of Sydney, Australia (May 16-17, 2019)
PRN is organising its fourth Conference on May 16-17, 2019 at the University of Sydney in Australia. The Conference – cosponsored by the University of Sydney, Macquarie University, and Business School - National University of Singapore (NUS) – is intended to allow regional researchers to learn about existing applied work focusing particularly on the Asia-Pacific region and generate research spill-overs and potential collaborations. The Conference is expected to provide an opportunity to also discuss how the Productivity Research Network (PRN) can provide an impetus for enhancing data collection within the region, aimed at allowing the development of solid research and policy analyses.
Professor Ms. Lin TIAN, from INSEAD, will be holding a key-note address.
