Klein Lecture series

The Klein Lecture was established in 1997 in honor of Professor Lawrence R. Klein, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1980. He is one of the founders of the International Economic Review.
Every third lecture is held in Osaka. These lectures feature some of the most prominent economists in the world and are later published in the IER.
