SUMMARY:Alternative Macroeconomic Theories: Developing Countries and Türkiye
DESCRIPTION:The Economic Development WG and Keynesian Economics WG is pleased to invite you to a four-day workshop on Alternative Macroeconomic Theories: Developing Countries and Türkiye\, held at the Middle East Technical University (Ankara\, Türkiye). \nContext: \nThis event aims to bring together graduate students and early-career researchers interested in analysing macroeconomic issues in developing countries from alternative perspectives. In recent years\, Turkish policymakers have pursued an unconventional strategy of lowering interest rates when central banks in major Global North countries were tightening their monetary policy amidst a high-inflationary environment. This policy experiment has brought “heterodox economic policies” to the forefront of public and academic debates in Türkiye. \nRecent global disruptions\, from the post-pandemic recovery to geopolitical tensions\, have made the shortcomings of mainstream macroeconomic frameworks increasingly apparent.  Growing instability in developing economies underscores their failure to deliver the desired outcomes. The standard approach\, rooted in the New Macroeconomic Consensus (NMC)\, relies heavily on inflation targeting\, independent central banking\, and fiscal restraint as primary policy tools. It assumes that monetary policy alone can stabilize economies while downplaying the role of structural factors\, exchange rate volatility\, capital flows\, and income distribution.  \nTürkiye’s recent policy experiments\, alongside experiences from other Global South economies\, underscore the urgent need for alternative approaches to macroeconomic management. While the rising interest in alternative macroeconomic perspectives in Türkiye is a promising development\, there remains a strong need for intellectually rich\, theoretically informed discussions that are better integrated with academic debates in other Global South countries.  \nThe aim of this workshop is to create a productive space for meaningful discussions while fostering a community of young researchers working on macroeconomic issues from alternative perspectives. \nTo this end\, our event will feature three key components: \n(1) Mini lectures on macroeconomic issues from alternative approaches including post-Keynesian\, Structuralist\, Institutionalist and Feminist perspectives\, \n(2) Poster sessions and paper presentations to provide feedback to young scholars on their ongoing research\, \n(3) Social events to encourage community and capacity building. \nEvent Details \nLocation: Middle East Technical University (METU)\, Ankara\, Türkiye \nDates: 26-29 July 2025 \nApplication Deadline: 1 June 2025  \nStructure: The event will be held over four days. The first two days will consist of interactive lectures\, while the last two days will be dedicated to poster sessions and presentations. The event will conclude with a brainstorming session on strengthening the engagement of young scholars from Türkiye in the YSI community. Voluntary social activities will be organised in the evenings. \nConfirmed Speakers: Seven Ağır (METU)\, Ahmet Benlialper (Cornivus University)\, Serdar Bahçe (Ankara University)\, Hasan Cömert (Trinity College\, Hartford)\, Nazım Ekinci (Harran University)\, Erkan Erdil (METU)\, Emel Memiş (Ankara University)\, Betül Mutlugün (Trinity College\, Hartford)\, Cem Oyvat (University of Greenwich)\, İlhan Can Özen (METU)\, Kağan Parmaksız (METU)\, Erol Saymaz (METU)\, Esra Uğurlu (University of Leeds).  \nWho Should Apply? \nThis call is open to graduate students and early-career researchers who are engaged in research on macroeconomics from alternative perspectives. We welcome both theoretical and empirical submissions. \nSuggested Themes for Submissions: \n\nMonetary and fiscal policy in developing countries\nCentral banking and inflation targeting\nExchange rate policy\nPost-Keynesian and Structuralist formal macroeconomic models\nAgent-based models\nStock-flow Consistent Models\nHeterodox theories of income and distribution\n\nHow to Apply: All applications must be submitted through the application form here: https://forms.gle/5e1LzEwo4CHnSybeA  \nInterested participants should submit a brief paragraph (max 300 words) explaining their motivation. Notifications of acceptance will be sent by 5 June 2025. Participants who are interested in presenting a paper should submit their papers by 15 July 2025 to the e-mail address below. \nCommunication: For any inquiries\, please contact odtueconworkshop@gmail.com \nFinancial Support: Accommodation support will be provided for selected young scholars. Priority will be given to participants travelling within Türkiye. \nLanguage: Turkish (mostly) and English \nTurkish Version  \nAlternatif Makroiktisadi Teoriler: Gelişmekte Olan Ülkeler ve Türkiye \nEkonomik Kalkınma Çalışma Grubu ve Keynesyen Ekonomi Çalışma Grubu olarak\, 26-30 Temmuz 2025 tarihleri arasında Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi’nde (Ankara\, Türkiye) düzenlenecek olan Alternatif Makroiktisadi Teoriler: Gelişmekte Olan Ülkeler ve Türkiye başlıklı dört günlük atölye çalışmamıza sizleri davet etmekten mutluluk duyuyoruz. \nBağlam:\nBu etkinlik\, gelişmekte olan ülkelerdeki makroiktisadi meseleleri alternatif perspektiflerden incelemek isteyen lisansüstü öğrencileri ve kariyerinin başındaki araştırmacıları bir araya getirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. \nGeçtiğimiz yıllarda Türkiye’de politika yapıcılar\, küresel yüksek enflasyon ortamında büyük Küresel Kuzey ülkelerinin merkez bankaları para politikasını sıkılaştırırken\, alışılmışın dışında bir strateji izleyerek faiz oranlarını düşürme yoluna gitmiştir. Bu politika deneyi\, Türkiye’de “heterodoks ekonomi politikalarını” kamu ve akademik tartışmaların merkezine taşımıştır. \nPandemi sonrası dönemden jeopolitik gerilimlere kadar uzanan küresel çalkantılar\, ana akım makroekonomik çerçevenin yetersizliklerini giderek daha belirgin hale getirmiştir. Gelişmekte olan ekonomilerde artan istikrarsızlık\, bu politikaların istenilen sonuçları sağlamadaki başarısızlığını gözler önüne sermektedir. Yeni Uzlaşı Makroiktisadına dayanan standart yaklaşım\, birincil politika araçları olarak enflasyon hedeflemesi\, bağımsız merkez bankacılığı ve mali disiplini benimsemektedir. Bu yaklaşım\, para politikasının tek başına ekonomileri istikrara kavuşturabileceğini varsayarken yapısal faktörlerin\, döviz kuru dalgalanmalarının\, sermaye akımlarının ve gelir dağılımının rolünü göz ardı etmektedir. \nTürkiye’deki son politika deneyimleri ve diğer Küresel Güney ülkelerinde yaşanan iktisadi gelişmeler\, makroekonomik yönetimde alternatif yaklaşımların gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadır. Türkiye’de alternatif iktisadi yaklaşımlara yönelik artan ilgi olumlu bir gelişme olmakla birlikte\, bu tartışmaların daha entelektüel\, teorik olarak güçlü ve Küresel Güney’deki akademik tartışmalarla daha iyi entegre olmuş bir zeminde yürütülmesine ihtiyaç bulunmaktadır. \nBu etkinliğin amacı\, bir yandan anlamlı tartışmalar yürütebilmek adına verimli bir akademik diyalog ortamı oluştururken\, diğer yandan alternatif perspektiflerden makroekonomik konular üzerine çalışan genç araştırmacılar arasında dinamik bir topluluk oluşturmaktır. \nBu doğrultuda etkinliğimiz üç ana bileşenden oluşacaktır: \n\nPost-Keynesyen\, Yapısalcı\, Kurumsalcı ve Feminist perspektifler de dahil olmak üzere makroekonomik konulara alternatif yaklaşımlar üzerine mini dersler\,\nGenç akademisyenlerin devam eden araştırmalarına geri bildirim sağlamak amacıyla poster ve makale sunumları\,\nTopluluk oluşturmayı ve kapasite geliştirmeyi teşvik eden sosyal etkinlikler.\n\nEtkinlik Detayları \nYer: Middle East Technical University (METU)\, Ankara\, Türkiye \nTarih: 26-29 Temmuz 2025 \nSon Başvuru Tarihi: 1 Haziran 2025  \nEtkinlik Yapısı: Etkinlik dört gün sürecektir. İlk iki gün interaktif derslerden oluşacak\, son iki gün ise poster ve makale sunumlarına ayrılacaktır. Etkinlik\, Türkiye’deki genç akademisyenlerin YSI topluluğuyla etkileşimini güçlendirmeye yönelik bir beyin fırtınası oturumuyla sona erecektir. Akşamları katılımı isteğe bağlı sosyal etkinlikler düzenlenecektir. \nKesinleşmiş Konuşmacılar: Seven Ağır (ODTÜ)\, Ahmet Benlialper (Cornivus University)\, Serdar Bahçe (Ankara Üniversitesi)\, Hasan Cömert (Trinity College\, Hartford)\, Nazım Ekinci (Harran Üniversitesi)\, Erkan Erdil (ODTÜ)\, Emel Memiş (Ankara Üniversitesi)\, Betül Mutlugün (Trinity College\, Hartford)\, Cem Oyvat (University of Greenwich)\, İlhan Can Özen (ODTÜ)\, Kağan Parmaksız (ODTÜ)\, Erol Saymaz (ODTÜ)\, Esra Uğurlu (University of Leeds).  \nKimler Başvurabilir? \nBu çağrı\, makroekonomiyi alternatif perspektiflerden araştıran lisansüstü öğrenciler ve kariyerinin başındaki araştırmacılara açıktır. Etkinliğe hem teorik hem de ampirik çalışmalarda bulunan katılımcılar başvurabilir. \nÖnerilen Temalar: \n\nGelişmekte olan ülkelerde para ve maliye politikası\nMerkez bankacılığı ve enflasyon hedeflemesi\nDöviz kuru politikaları\nPost-Keynesyen ve Yapısalcı makroiktisadi modeller\nAjan bazlı modeller (agent-based models)\nStok-akım tutarlı modeller (stock-flow consistent models)\nHeterodoks gelir ve dağılım teorileri\n\nNasıl Başvurulur?  \nTüm başvurular\, aşağıdaki başvuru formu üzerinden yapılmalıdır: https://forms.gle/5e1LzEwo4CHnSybeA \nİlgilenen katılımcılar\, motivasyonlarını açıklayan en fazla 300 kelimelik kısa bir paragraf göndermelidir. Kabul bildirimleri 5 Haziran 2025 tarihine kadar gönderilecektir. Makale sunumu yapmak isteyen katılımcıların\, makalelerini 15 Temmuz 2025 tarihine kadar aşağıdaki e-posta adresine iletmeleri gerekmektedir. \nİletişim: Etkinlik ile ilgili sorular için odtueconworkshop@gmail.com adresinden bize ulaşabilirsiniz. \nKonaklama: Seçilen genç araştırmacılar için kısmi konaklama desteği sağlanacaktır. Türkiye içinden seyahat eden katılımcılara öncelik verilecektir. \nEtkinlik Dili: Türkçe ve İngilizce
