The Research Centre of International Economics (CIDEI) and the Department of Public Economics of Sapienza, University of Rome, have organized a conference-festschrift in honor of Giancarlo Gandolfo. The Conference took place in Rome at the Economics faculty building of Sapienza on 20-21 September 2010 (pictures from the event)

Giancarlo Gandolfo started his academic career at Sapienza as assistant professor in 1965, after an initial experience at the Research Department of the Bank of Italy. Starting in 1968 he taught Mathematical Economics and Economics at the University of Siena where he was appointed full professor in 1970. In 1974, Gandolfo became professor of International Economics at Sapienza University of Rome, where he has been teaching and doing research until present. He is worldwide famous for his textbooks in Economic Dynamics, International Trade Theory and International Macroeconomics. His research agenda focused mainly on international macroeconomics, empirical open macroeconomics and dynamic economy-wide models, but he has also published some early work in trade theory.

The conference has provided an international forum for recent advances in International Economics and Economic Dynamics.

Four invited lectures have been given by: Carl Chiarella (University of Technology, Sidney) in Economic Dynamics, Donald Davis (Columbia University, NY) in International Trade, Peter Pedroni (Williams College, MA) in Empirical Open Macroeconomics and Clifford Wymer (Sapienza University of Rome) in continuous-time econometrics.
