YSI @ 6th International Workshop On Demand-Led Growth: The green and demographic transitions

The Keynesian and Latin America Working groups are happy to invite you to submit papers for the 6th International Workshop on Demand-Led Growth, which will take place between July 14th and 17^th 2025 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

This year’s theme, “The green and demographic transitions”, is particularly relevant since sustainable development and the environmental implications of economic development have attracted increasing attention in the economic and policy debate. Particularly in relation to issues such as climate change, resource depletion, renewable energy, and loss of biodiversity.

There is growing recognition that economic development must address environmental damage in order to achieve long-term sustainability by reducing carbon footprints, promoting renewable energy and the responsible use of natural resources. In response, governments and institutions are increasingly adopting green economic practices. At the same time, there have been major demographic shifts in both advanced and developing countries.

Conventional economics frequently associates the green transition with market-driven policies, incentives, and the removal of so-called “interventionist distortions,” while addressing the demographic transition through austerity measures. In contrast, alternative approaches seek to integrate green and demographic transitions with demand-led growth, emphasizing the development and coordination of public policies and the provision of public goods.

To explore these alternative perspectives, we invite articles broadly addressing the following topics:

• Demand-led growth and sustainable development;
• Fiscal policy for the green transition;
• Green finance and the role of central banks;
• Climate change and the analysis of the decarbonization of the economy;
• Input-output analysis of the green transition and structural change;
• Carbon markets and taxation in demand-led growth models;
• Demographic transition from a demand-led growth perspective.

All papers must be in English and include a title, concise abstract (maximum 200 words), author’s name, institutional affiliation, and email address. We suggest that submitted papers adhere to a maximum word limit of 8000 words.

If your work is selected, you will be invited to present at the event which is scheduled to occur from July 14 to 17. Selections will be based on merit, and those chosen can expect to receive accommodation and a partial travel stipend.
