CFP:
The National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (NIPFP) in collaboration with the Institute of New Economic Thinking (INET) is organising India’s first “Law Economics Policy Conference (LEPC 2016)”. The aim is to bring together legal, economic and policy thinkers to consider policy issues in a holistic manner.

This conference will bring practitioners and academicians from all the three fields together to foster this conversation. The conference is expected to bring together people who work on the entire policy pipeline, from high level concepts to the enactment of law.
