SUMMARY:The new geography of the electric vehicles global value chain
DESCRIPTION:The global automotive industry is undergoing profound transformations driven by rapid technological innovation and the urgency to address climate change. Electric vehicles (EVs) are at the center of this shift\, reshaping global value chains (GVCs) and altering traditional hierarchies in automotive production. The 2025 Gerpisa Colloquium\, under the theme “The Central Role of China in the Global Automotive Industry\,” provides an ideal setting to explore these dynamics as part of the Young Scholars Initiative. \nThis project examines how the transition to EVs is redefining the geography of the automotive GVCs\, focusing on two key trends: the dominance of China as a technological leader and production hub\, and the uneven opportunities for upgrading in smaller economies. With nearly 95% of EV sales concentrated in China\, Europe\, and the United States\, the EV market is increasingly polarized around major economic centers. Simultaneously\, China’s strategic leapfrogging in EV and lithium-ion battery production exemplifies the growing competition among industrialized nations. \nThe project seeks to analyze the implications of these shifts and explore how emerging economies can position themselves within these reorganized value chains. Through a mix of theoretical and empirical approaches\, participants will address questions such as: \n\nWhat are the key drivers of the new geography of EV value chains?\nHow does China’s dominance influence the dynamics of competition and collaboration within GVCs?\nWhat opportunities exist for smaller and developing economies to capture value in the EV sector?\n\nThe 2025 Gerpisa Colloquium will be held at the School of Economics and Management of Tongji University in Shanghai\, China. This project will run from June 24 to June 27\, 2025. \nAs part of the Young Scholars Initiative\, this project fosters collaboration among early-career researchers to advance innovative perspectives on the evolving global automotive industry.

SUMMARY:YSI Workshop at the 28th Annual Conference on Global Economic Analysis (GTAP)
DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of the 28th Annual Conference on Global Economic Analysis organized by Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa under the theme “Accelerating Economic Transformation\, Resilience\, Diversification\, and Job Creation\,” at the Radisson Blu Hotel & Convention Centre\, Kigali\, Rwanda on June 25-27\, 2025\, URE Working Group will host a dedicated workshop for young scholars interested in contributing to the dynamic field of urban and regional economics through quantitative analysis. This workshop aims to foster an interactive environment where emerging economists can showcase their research\, obtain feedback\, and engage with seasoned professionals. \nThe workshop will provide a platform for young scholars to engage with established economists and experts in the field of economics\, focusing on quantitative analysis of urban economic issues in Africa and beyond. This dedicated workshop will be held in conjunction with the conference under the theme “Accelerating Urban Economic Transformation and Resilience through Quantitative Analysis\,” and we invite scholars whose paper were accepted and whose research work  focus on the following 7 subthemes: \n\nUrban Informality and Economic Resilience\nSpatial Restructuring and Inequality in Global Value Chains\nHarnessing Digital Economies for Urban & Regional Resilience\nSustainable Urban Development through Green Transitions\nPeri-Urbanization and Access to Opportunities\nLocal Fiscal Policy in Addressing Urban Inequalities\nNeoliberal Reforms and the Informal Economy in the Global South\n\nParticipants whose research focuses on the following 2025 GTAP conference themes are also invited: \n\nAdvancements and resilience in value chains and economic development\nAfrica in the global economy\nSeizing the benefits of the digital economy for growth\nTackling the economics of regional integration and cooperation\nWhat the green transition means for Africa\nFilling data gaps – understanding the informal economy\nFood security and nutrition\nFragmentation of global trade\nPromoting gender in development\nReducing poverty and inequality\nTechnology adoption and infrastructure development\n\nThe workshop will include a combination of presentations\, interactive discussions\, and collaborative sessions. Participants will present their research focusing on the conference subthemes above. The workshop will be geared towards graduate students\, early-career researchers\, and young professionals engaged in Urban and Regional  economics research.

SUMMARY:YSI Experimental Panel @DSA2025: Interdisciplinary Workshop on Institutions and Development
DESCRIPTION:In October 2024\, Daron Acemoglu\, Simon Johnson\, and James A. Robinson (AJR) were awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for their work on institutions and how they affect economic development and prosperity. As highly influential as their contributions are in the field of economics\, this award has been met with much criticism not just across disciplines and fields of study in the social sciences but also from heterodox schools of thought within economics.  \nPart of this criticism has been that their economic analysis is historically inaccurate and is not adequately informed by other fields such as development studies\, political science\, and history. This event proposal\, by taking the momentum gained by institutional perspectives from the 2024 Nobel Prize win by AJR and acknowledging the need for discourse on economic development to be more meaningfully informed by different social sciences\, thereby wishes to forge connections among Young Scholars working on institutions and development across different fields and through different perspectives by establishing a collaboration with the Development Studies Association (DSA) at their annual conference in June 2025. \nThe proposed YSI panel will take an experimental format given that the main objective is to establish theoretical nexus\, empirical extensions\, and concrete opportunities for interdisciplinary work in investigating the role of institutions on development. Thus\, this panel will welcome papers highlighting how institutions have been theorised and operationalised across social sciences such as political economy and development studies\, contextualised within the conference theme of navigating the present polycrisis. As a novelty\, each participant will not present their own submission but will instead be in charge of discussing a paper submitted by another Young Scholar. Their discussion must focus on how their own research benefits from and informs the work that has been assigned to them. Young Scholars will then be able to provide clarifications and facilitate a deeper understanding of their own work. Thus\, a concrete outcome from this experimental panel would be a network of early career researchers working on closely related topics\, which can potentially lead to joint research projects and future collaborations. \nDSA 2025 will also be a hybrid event\, so we also welcome applications from participants who may not be able to join us in Bath in person.

SUMMARY:YSI ft. Degrowth Cabaret @ ISEE-Degrowth conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Degrowth Cabaret is a performative and participatory event that invites conference participants and local audiences to engage with degrowth imaginaries in a vibrant\, unconventional format. Rather than offering another lecture or panel\, this will be a shared stage where young scholars\, activists\, artists (both professional and amateur)\, and creative producers co-create a unique cabaret performance that reflects\, questions\, and plays with the themes of post-growth futures—sufficiency\, care\, decoloniality\, and utopia\, among others. \nThis will be the first cabaret of its kind: an artistic intervention within the degrowth movement that challenges the boundaries between academia\, activism\, and art. Blending theatre\, music\, dance\, storytelling\, satire\, and experimental formats—including performance-lectures and physical theatre—it is not just a show\, but an invitation to co-create\, co-learn\, and imagine together. The Cabaret foregrounds critical joy\, embodiment\, and collective creativity as tools for socio-ecological transformation\, offering new ways of feeling and acting upon economic alternatives. \nThe Degrowth Cabaret is a hybrid event that combines performance\, critical dialogue\, and collective creation to explore the pressing questions of degrowth and socio-ecological transformation. It will premiere during the ISEE – Degrowth Conference 2025 in Oslo\, blending artistic expression\, academic insight\, and public participation into a unique format that invites audiences to imagine futures beyond the growth imperative. \nYSI emerged in response to the 2008 crisis\, as a space to incorporate new and critical voices into the conversation about our economic systems. We want to take that mission one step further by inviting young degrowth artivists to join us not only through theory and analysis\, but also through artistic\, embodied\, and collaborative forms of expression. \nThe Degrowth Cabaret opens doors to new audiences. It creates a bridge between young scholars and artists\, activists\, and creative practitioners who may have thought YSI was not for them—either because they don’t have formal academic training or because they express their insights in non-traditional ways. These are people equally invested in the socio-ecological transformation we seek\, but who speak a different language. With this project\, we aim to build a new shared language—playful\, critical\, and inclusive. \nBy creating space for experimentation\, imagination\, and radical collaboration\, the Degrowth Cabaret fosters new kinds of interdisciplinary dialogues and new ways of “doing knowledge.” In that sense\, it directly contributes to the YSI mission of pluralizing economics and nurturing a new generation of thinkers and doers. It helps expand the YSI network into territories that are both intellectually and socially vital.
