The Growth Dialogue aims to promote sustainable and shared growth as a vital aspect of economic development. Its comparative advantage is in convening groups of academics, experts, and policy makers to address new challenges related to national development strategies, urbanization and management of cities, new technologies and green growth, innovation policies, and issues of jobs and inequality. The Growth Dialogue attempts to bridge the divide between academics and policy makers, thereby encouraging policies that can help generate sustainable economic growth, raise productivity and incomes, and promote stability and security. In this vein, it is the successor to the Commission on Growth and Development, which was led by Nobel laureate Michael Spence and composed of distinguished economic policy makers and accomplished leaders.
