The Political Economy of Growth and Distribution: Bridging Interdisciplinary Perspectives – Call for Papers
The Keynesian Working Group is happy to announce a call for papers for the YSI Workshop on The Political Economy of Growth and Distribution: Bridging Interdisciplinary Perspectives. We invite you to submit your abstract and, later, an article or a draft presenting the current state of the research for the Workshop hosted by the University of Siena, Italy, on December 14-15th.
The YSI Workshop will pitch into a burgeoning area of research that encompasses economists, political economists, and other social scientists. This interdisciplinary field delves into the complexities of contemporary economic challenges faced by advanced and developing economies. The Workshop will bring together young scholars researching matters related to the political economy of growth and distribution models and demand regimes to explore the political and economic relations underlying macroeconomic policy and patterns of growth and stagnation in contemporary capitalism. The event will be held at the Department of Economics and Statistics of the University of Siena, Siena, Italy.
The Workshop, “The Political Economy of Growth and Distribution: Bridging Interdisciplinary Perspectives”, will be an excellent occasion for graduate students and young researchers to present their work and receive feedback from colleagues. This opportunity will allow young scholars to exchange ideas and discuss their research and potential collaborations.
Topics
We encourage proposals for theoretical and empirical papers on multidisciplinary themes related (but not limited) to the
