Jean-Jacques Laffont Lecture

 

On the occasion of its annual meeting, ASSET invites renowned economists to give plenary lectures. In 1990, one of the invited lectures was named the Vilfredo Pareto Lecture. The presenter of the Vilfredo Pareto Lecture is chosen by the ASSET Board. Since January 2023, the Vilfredo Pareto Lecture has been renamed to Jean-Jacques Laffont Lecture.
