THE 7TH BIENNIAL CONFERENCE
2012 7th Biennial Conference on 13 & 14 December 2012 at Lingnan University
The Hong Kong Economic Association has been hosting its biennial conferences in Hong Kong since 2000. Each time we had world class scholars including Nobel Laureates in Economics and prominent leaders including the Financial Secretary and the Secretary for Financial Services to serve as keynote speakers. Each time it is well attended, with participants coming from countries across the world. The success of this event has been made possible by the united effort of all seven universities in Hong Kong. The 7th biennial conference will be held at Lingnan University of Hong Kong during December 13-14, 2012. The Association would like to thank Sun Hung Kai Properties and Real Estate Developers Association of Hong Kong for their generous supports.
