The Australasian Development Economics Workshop (ADEW) is an annual workshop bringing together development economists from around Australia and internationally. The event provides a forum for rigorous research in the field of development economics, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. ADEW is supported by Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).

ADEW is held in early June each year, rotating between host universities.

The ADEW Executive Committee is hosted by the Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National University. For ADEW enquiries, please contact Paul Burke.
