How do social forces, innovation, and technology shape the evolution of institutions over time? How do they contribute to either their persistence or transformation?


M.I.T. Professor Daron Acemoglu, the 2024 laureate of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, will present his research on innovation and technology. His framework examines the social forces that drive institutional stability and change, revealing how these dynamics impact prosperity. He draws comparisons between disruptive periods such as the onset of European colonialism, the spread of industrial technologies in the 19th century, and today’s decisions on the use, adoption, and development of AI.


The event will take place on April 9 at the World Bank headquarters in Washington, D.C., and will be broadcast on World Bank Live.

During the World Bank Group-International Monetary Fund Annual Meetings that took place from October 9-15, we brought you live events that focused on what it would take to end poverty on a livable planet. Speakers included central bankers, ministers, private sector executives, civil society representatives, youth leaders, academics, and others on issues facing our world at that time. Together, we explored the new playbook needed to respond to intertwined global challenges. We discussed solutions that worked on the ground in developing countries, strategies to boost jobs, digital infrastructure, and climate action.
