SUMMARY:4th Southeast Asia Economic Research and Development Conference
DESCRIPTION:Call for Papers\n  \n4th Southeast Asia Economic Research and Development Conference (SAERD 2026)\n  \nHost/Strategic Partner: Agricultural and Rural Development Bank (ARDB)\, Cambodia —  Akkak Pundit Sapheachar Aun Pornmoniroth Center (APM Center)\nCo-organisers: Young Scholars Initiative (YSI)\, Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET)\, Paññāsāstra University of Cambodia (PUC) – Siem Reap Campus; Cambodia Development Resource Institute (CDRI) \n  \nDate: 3-4 December 2026\nVenue: PUC – Siem Reap Campus\, Krong Siem Reap\, Cambodia\nFormat: Two-day conference + parallel two-day Master’s Thesis Development Workshop \n  \nAbout SAERD 2026\nSoutheast Asia is experiencing rapid and uneven socio-economic change shaped by structural transformation\, widening inequality\, demographic shifts\, climate vulnerability\, pressures on land and natural resources\, and the uneven impacts of digitalisation on economic life and public service delivery. These dynamics raise urgent questions about emerging growth pathways\, the distribution of risk across households\, firms\, and territories\, and the institutional and fiscal capacities required for social protection\, climate resilience\, and inclusive development. In this context\, the Southeast Asia Economic Research and Development Conference (SAERD) is designed to be both supportive and rigorous for young scholars from the region and around the world. We welcome early-stage work and fully developed papers\, and we prioritise meaningful feedback through discussant-led sessions and moderated discussion. SAERD aims to strengthen Cambodia as one of the centres of regional research convening\, where young and senior scholars can meet on equal intellectual ground\, learn from disagreement\, and build collegial and solidarity-based research networks. \n  \nThemes \nSubmissions may address (but are not limited to) the following themes: \n\nEconomic growth\, inequality\, and inclusion\nSocial protection\, welfare systems\, and human development\nPublic finance\, budgeting\, expenditure quality\, and fiscal sustainability\nGovernance\, institutions\, accountability\, and state capacity\nMonitoring & evaluation (M&E)\, performance management\, and public sector reform\nSustainability\, ecology\, natural resource governance\, and climate resilience\nClimate finance\, green budgeting\, and just transitions\nDigital transformation\, innovation\, automation\, and public services\nFood security\, agrarian transformation\, and rural livelihoods\nUrban and regional economics; infrastructure and spatial change\nLabour economics\, gender\, care\, and welfare regimes\nRegional integration\, trade\, and global uncertainty\nHistory of economic thought\, economic history\, and path dependency\nInterdisciplinary and pluralist approaches in economic analysis\n\n  \n Conference format\nThe conference will feature plenary sessions with invited senior scholars and parallel paper sessions for young scholars. Papers will be selected through a peer review process. Parallel sessions will use a discussant model to ensure constructive and substantive feedback for presenters. In addition to research paper panels\, keynote addresses and roundtables will be organised with senior scholars. \n  \nParallel track: Master’s Thesis Development Workshop (10–12 participants)\nSAERD 2026 will host a two-day Master’s Thesis Development Workshop in parallel with the main conference. The workshop is intended for Cambodian and regional Master’s students / early-career researchers and will focus on: \n\nresearch design and question formulation;\nconceptual framing and theoretical clarity;\nmethods training (qualitative\, quantitative\, mixed methods);\nfeasibility\, ethics\, and data strategies;\nstructured mentoring and proposal-development sessions.\n\n  \nParticipants will leave with a revised proposal (or chapter outline) and a clearer methods and data plan. \n  \nParticipation\, travel\, and accommodation\nParticipation is free for authors of selected papers. A limited number of travel and accommodation support grants may be available for PhD students and early-career scholars (≤5 years post-PhD)\, subject to funding availability.
