World Youth Economic Forum, 28th July - 1st August 2023 (WYEF)
Organizer Introduction
WYEF was co-founded by ASDAN China and GUEF (Global Undergraduate Economic Forum) student society at Yale 11 years ago. Every year, outstanding students all around the world gather in Shanghai to learn and exchange opinions on economics-related topics. Throughout the years, WYEF has grown bigger and bigger and is now a well-established forum with its own unique model. More than 1600 delegates participated last year. This year, the 2022 WYEF are having exciting economic-related committees as usual, with different varieties, ranging from ASDAN Business Simulation National Finals, LIBF Financial Ability Assessment and Challenge National Finals,ASDAN Business Simulation Open Tournament, and other economic-related committees.
In addition to the diverse committee topics, we have more! Economic experts, Keynote speaker, Workshops, Waltz Ball, Social night, Talent show, etc. This summer is not only going to be about your learning experience, but also about having fun!
Message from
the Founder
On behalf of the World Youth Forum from Yale University, it is a pleasure to welcome you to this annual event. The forum is the first ever space for university and high school students to congregate and discuss issues of global economic importance: issues that today’s leaders in finance, economics, and commerce strive to find solutions for.
The World Youth Economic Forum is being co-hosted by the Global Undergraduate Economic Forum and ASDAN from the UK. This Forum will culminate in the creation of proposals and task forces addressed to global change makers, of which the best will be implemented.
The World Youth Economic Forum exists as an exordium in your journey towards becoming an aspiring global leader. It is a chance for you to apply the knowledge you gain in your classrooms, the articles that you read in The Economist and the events that unfold in front of you on the news to solving global problems in the same way that global change makers do at the World Economic Forum. The World Youth Economic Forum looks forward to welcoming you and to initiating a new form of student interaction with business and economics.
Sincerely,
Aahan Bhojani
Founder of World Youth Economic Forum
Message from The Secretary General 2023
Dear Delegates,
Welcome to the 2023 World Youth Economic Forum! Together, ladies and gentlemen, you form the vanguard of the next generation of global economic leaders. It is incumbent upon you to solve some of the world’s most intricate and exciting challenges, so let the world be your canvas, your playground, and WYEF your marketplace of ideas. I can’t wait to see what you come up with this August - bring diplomacy and audacity in equal measure.
I find networks to be fascinating and topical, but what excites me most about them are the manifold contexts into which they manifest. Consider social networks. Our social interactions are both dominated and mediated by the networks that connect us with our loved ones - these range from explicitly communicative mediums like WhatsApp or WeChat (which in turn have expanded to include all kinds of new functionalities - payment, encryption, you name it) to more illustrative mediums like Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest. Consider, too, networks of politics. Ponder the sobering reality that today’s economies are highly dependent on the political messages that people’s connectivity allows them to spread. Now, consider networks of technology. The transmission of all data (including this message!) relies on the interaction of people, devices and public infrastructures within larger networks - both wired and wireless. Let this notion intermingle with some of the more entrepreneurial and technical ideas that you will undoubtedly have.
Consider networks of friendship. Networks and the act of ‘networking’ are of paramount importance to people’s careers and social lives alike, and one of the best parts of WYEF is the opportunity to meet and network with peers, friends, friends, mentors and professionals, both inside and outside committees. This is an unparalleled opportunity. Finally, consider networks of synergy. WYEF is full of diverse committees, topics, approaches and viewpoints, and I think that the idea of connectivity within a larger, cohesive network gives a thesis to our discussion of so many seemingly disparate topics - it gives us an opportunity to speak about how the various topics interact with each other, and ultimately, can’t exist without each other. Innovation is impossible without a well-educated populace housed in affordable homes, aided by advanced, well-funded healthcare, informed by good journalism, and behaviourally aware of how their actions reflect their intentions. The combinations are endless - think, collaborate, and apply your favourite ones toward the problems that you care the most about, both at home and abroad.
Ultimately, I hope that you are challenged, enriched, informed, and entertained by your experience at WYEF. Never stop chasing stories. Never stop making friends. And most importantly, never - not at this conference nor in life - stop learning from everyone around you.
I look forward to meeting you all. This will be an unforgettable experience - I hope you are as excited as I am. Happy preparation.
Counting down the days,
Arinjay Singhai

This seminar will teach students basic economic concepts which they can then use as tools to understand how globalisation is affecting poverty worldwide. Students will be asked to think critically about issues from the perspectives of efficiency and equity. Is a global economy more effective in getting resources to people who need them the most? When prices are driven down by globalisation, is this beneficial for those living in poverty? Who might be hurt by globalisation, and what policies must be put in place to ensure effectiveness and equity for all stakeholders?

3 Steps WYEF Registration
First Session
Delegates will receive a broad introduction into their committee topics. Directors will begin with a presentation that puts
their committee topic in a global context, and introduce historical context and background information relevant to the
case. Delegates will also gain a working knowledge of the key terms and concepts necessary to join an informed discussion on the topic. Directors are encouraged to begin the committee with icebreakers to make delegates more comfortable.
Second Session
The Director will create a "Speakers' List". Each delegate will be given time to present his/her role in the committee and
position on the current topic. Directors will elaborate on each of the roles as they see fit and introduce different
organizational structures and coalitions, thus providing a theoretical framework for the case study to follow.
Third & Fourth Session
Directors will also introduce the case study in this session. The rest of the conference will aim to tackle the case and devise a solution. Delegates will divide into coalitions according to their assigned roles, and draft a comprehensive agreement or policy recommendation, known as a "White Paper." Directors may choose different committee formats to facilitate debate and discussion while delegates are developing their White Papers.
Fifth Session
Students will present their White Papers in front of the entire committee.
Time may be allotted for a brief Q&A session
Sixth Session
If all presentations have finished, Directors may use the remaining time to debrief on the progress of the conference and
play concluding games.
