Current Book

Treatise on Money by Joseph Schumpeter (1970/2014)

From the description:
The Treatise on Money provides the key to understanding Schumpeter’s system. It shows that Schumpeter’s famous emphasis on ‘creative destruction’ is a more complex phenomenon than is popularly understood. In particular, it provides an understanding of the workings of money, banking, and the money and capital markets, that are supremely relevant in the light of current monetary and fiscal policy crises.

2026-01-12 — Discussion Session 1 (Ch 1–3) (Recording)

Upcoming Sessions

2026-01-20 — 2:00pm EST

During the off week, we discuss Charles Kindleberger’s 1980 lecture on Gresham’s Law as it appears in his 1989 book Economic Laws and Economic History and his 2000 collection Political Economy: A Retrospective.
From the introduction:
I want … to widen the scope of Gresham’s law first to two monies, and then beyond it to discuss market instability, whether for different monies, as in bimetallism, for notes and coins, two centralbank reserve assets, and the like, to two different sorts of assets more generally, and especially to money on the one hand, and real or other types of financial assets on the other. Gresham’s law thus extended is a highly useful analytical model for the economic historian to keep in his toolbox.

This year’s featured speakers are Perry Mehrling, Tom Ferguson, Cecilia Rikap, Nicholas Mulder, Quinn Slobodian, and Wolfgang Münchau. The program will be shared in early February.
Over the past decades, Perry Mehrling has built on the British and American central banking schools to developed what he calls the ‘money view’. While economics and finance have oddly abstracted from the concept of money in order to focus on other problems, this minority view focuses on money and credit for what it is: a set of interlocking promises to pay and how these promises get settled. The money view therefore is in a unique position to restart a conversation between economics and finance, as well as theory and practice.
The fifth annual Money View Symposium will be hosted from 14-15 February, 2025. The symposium showcases the work of scholars and practitioners that make use of the money view, ranging from economists to lawyers, politicians and social scientists at large.

THE 3RD YSI NAIROBI LOCAL HUB MEETING
2025-02-15 10:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | The Co-operative University of Kenya, P.O. Box 24814, Nairobi, Nairobi, 00502, Kenya
Young researchers encounter complex ethical conundrums that call into question conventional ideas of scientific integrity in the quickly evolving scientific environment of today. The purpose of this gathering is to discuss the relationship between science and ethics, with an emphasis on how young researchers might deal with these challenges. This meeting will encourage discussion among up-and-coming scientists about the moral implications of their work. In order to help participants comprehend the significance of incorporating ethical frameworks into their research methodology, we will examine the ways in which subjective ethical considerations coexist with objective scientific practices. We will discuss important ethical issues, such as whether it is appropriate to alter human genomes. What moral ramifications result from breeding hybrids? What does responsible AI mean? Diverse viewpoints that represent social, cultural, and professional backgrounds are necessary to address these concerns. The need for a diverse approach to ethical decision-making in science is highlighted by the realization that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. We suggest creating a comprehensive ethical framework with rules specifically designed for novice researchers. This framework will be developed through cooperative talks between governmental and academic organizations, ultimately guiding aspiring researchers toward superior, morally sound research methods. In order to foster collaboration and information exchange among the researchers, the meeting will include interactive workshops on case studies, a roundtable discussion, and a presentation by Dr. Radha Upadhyaya of the Institute of Development, University of Nairobi, on ethical government. We want to raise a generation that places morality at the forefront of scientific discovery.

YSI @ Agent-Based Models In Economics Seasonal School 2025 | UFRJ
2025-02-18 - 2025-02-27 | Instituto de Economia da UFRJ, Avenida Pasteur 250, Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, 22290-250, Brazil
The economy is a complex evolving system, thus its analysis requires tools that can take into account all dimensions relevant to such a complex world. As young researchers, we often question how to take into account heterogeneity, interactions, non-linearities, path-dependency, and tipping points to name a few. In this project, we will learn and discuss together a powerful and growing tool that can address the complexity of the economy: agent-based models. We will investigate what are the frontiers in macro ABM and discuss how this tool can help answer the key economic questions of our times.
The project is a partnership with the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna. In addition to engaging in the discussions organized by the YSI side event, selected participants will also attend lectures presenting ABM techniques, develop and design a model through software laboratories, and learn how to analyze statistically the data produced by ABMs. The workshop provides students with both the technical and methodological skills required to successfully develop and analyze simulation models in a research project, allowing them to use these tools in their research as part of their PhD, or a research paper.
The school is aimed at Master’s and Ph.D. students enrolled in Economics curricula, while applicants from other disciplines are also welcome. Selected participants will be offered partial travel stipends by the YSI. Please note that to be considered for the YSI travel stipend it is required to apply BOTH to the Seasonal School and the YSI selection.

Call for Papers: Industrial Policy in the 21st Century
2025-02-20 - 2025-02-21 | Sheraton, 20 Telavi St, Tbilisi 0103, Georgia, Tbilisi, Georgia
CfP DEADLINE EXTENDED
We are pleased to announce a Call for Papers for the conference on “Industrial Policy in the 21st Century”, scheduled to be held on February 20-21 in Tbilisi, Georgia
This conference is organized by the Research Platform: Education for Development and Stability (RPEDS) in collaboration
with the National Scientific Foundation of Georgia (Rustaveli Foundation), and YSI’s Political Economy of Europe Working Group.
We invite submissions on the following topics:
● Industrial Policy in the 21st Century
● Industrial Policy of China in the Context of Large Infrastructure Projects
● Industrial Policy in Russia and Ukraine (Military Keynesianism and Industrial Policy in
Russia)
● Industrial Policy, or the Lack Thereof, in Post-Soviet Countries
● Challenges of Industrial Policy in the Era of Global Value Chains
● Industrial Policy Debates in the Global South: Contemporary Developments
● Bureaucracy and Industrial Policy
Contrary to the traditional belief that free markets alone drive economic success, nearly every country—regardless of its economic model—has strategically adopted industrial policies to guide key sectors and influence long-term growth. Whether by driving the green and digital transformations, adapting to shifting GVCs, or recognizing the need for increased government intervention to address new geopolitical challenges, industrial policy has become a critical mechanism for states to steer their economic pathways and ensure resilience in an uncertain global landscape. This conference is a unique opportunity to dive into the evolving role of industrial policy across vastly different contexts, from China’s infrastructure-led strategy to Russia’s military-industrial focus. By bringing together leading academics, policymakers, and international representatives, the event promises to challenge old assumptions, spark new ideas, and offer fresh insights on how nations can harness industrial policy in the face of 21st-century challenges.
The conference will feature a distinguished lineup of speakers, including leading academics, policymakers, industry experts, and international representatives.
YSI will provide financial support for selected participants, covering travel and accommodation expenses to Tbilisi, Georgia.

Please submit your abstracts (300 words) or full papers by January 5, 2025 via email RP@rpeds.org

Background
Inequality has long been a critical issue in global discourse, but its nature and scope are rapidly evolving in the 21st century. While income inequality has been rising within many countries in recent decades, inequality between countries has been falling, thanks to the rise of faster-growing emerging economies that are narrowing the income gap with advanced economies. As the world grapples with rapid technological advancements, demographic shifts, environmental challenges, and governance transformations, new forms of inequality are emerging. These inequalities are not confined to traditional markers like income or wealth but are expanding to include disparities in technology access, information flow, life-course disparities, ageing populations, well-being, urbanization, ecological sustainability, agriculture, and governance and law. Considering the rising inequalities across race, religion, social group, gender, geographic location, educational category, occupational type, etc., across many parts of the world, this conference aims to explore the multifaceted dimensions of emerging inequalities, highlight their interconnected nature, and propose strategies for mitigating their impacts to promote inclusive and sustainable development.
Emerging inequalities in the 21st century pose a significant challenge to achieving equitable and sustainable development. These disparities—whether technological, informational, ecological, or governance-related—are deeply interconnected, requiring coordinated, multi-sectoral responses. By understanding and addressing these inequalities, we can work toward a more inclusive and just society where access to resources, opportunities, and well-being is equitable for all. Therefore, this conference aims to identify the drivers of emerging inequalities and to analyse the interconnected nature of these inequalities and their broader social, economic, and political implications. Further, it emphasizes vulnerable groups that are disproportionately affected by these emerging inequalities, such as women, rural populations, and low-income communities. As an outcome, it also expects policy interventions and inclusive growth strategies that can mitigate these disparities and promote equity across all dimensions.
With this background, the Institute for Social and Economic Change (ISEC), Bengaluru, in collaboration with the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) and its Young Scholars Initiative (YSI), is organizing a conference for young research scholars (PhD scholars and early career scholars/assistant professors within three years of their PhD) during 24th to 26th of February 2025.
Selected participants will have an opportunity to attend the “Pre-conference Workshop on Measuring Inequalities” by international experts.
Thus, the proposed conference would deliberate on, but not limited to, the following subthemes:

Ageing and Wellbeing Inequalities: Healthcare access, pension inequality, intergenerational equity, support for ageing populations, mental health disparities, healthcare access, work-life balance, and life satisfaction across socioeconomic groups.
Governance and Legal Inequalities: Access to justice, legal representation, transparency in governance, and inequality in political participation.
Digital and Information Inequalities: Unequal access to digital infrastructure, skills gap in technology use, and automation-related job displacement, misinformation, unequal access to knowledge, and the role of media and platforms in perpetuating disparities, technological inequality in agriculture, manufacturing, and service sectors.
Spatial Inequities: Housing affordability, spatial segregation, infrastructure inequality, urban-rural disparities, land and market access, unequal distribution of resources and opportunities, health treatment among different geographical areas or regions, disparities in access to public facilities, and fair treatment based on location.
Agriculture, Ecological and Environmental Inequalities: Unequal exposure to environmental hazards, access to clean resources, and climate resilience, the effects of climate change on smallholder farmers.

Prospective Participants:
We invite PhD scholars and Early Career Researchers/Assistant Professors (within three years of their PhD) from South Asian countries to submit their papers. The selection of the participants will be based on the full papers and representation of the region.
Financial Support:

Transitioning from Global Inequalities: The Role of Institutions in Development
2025-02-26 - 2025-02-28 | University of Helsinki, P.O. Box 3 (Fabianinkatu 33), Helsinki, Helsinki, 00014, Finland
The Inequality Working Group at Development Days 2025 invites submissions from postgraduate and early-career researchers on pressing global economic challenges. The fundamental question driving this event is:
How can developing societies navigate transitions to prosperity while contending with waste, conflicts, and the legacies of maldevelopment?
The recent recognition of research on disparities in prosperity and the role of institutions through the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economics highlights the urgency of rethinking development beyond the traditional Euro/North Atlantic frameworks. This workshop aims to expand academic discourse toward creating an inclusive global economy.
The challenges of understanding the fundamentals of economics on a global scale are well illustrated by the difficulties—and often failures—of transplanting successful policies from one country to another. While many of these policies, such as a focus on education or infrastructure, have substantially improved the prosperity of nations, new problems, like brain drain or debt crises, cast these once-universal solutions in a less favorable light. Moreover, they leave open the question: how can a developing society be transformed into a developed one?
For the 2025 Development Days Conference and Pre-Conference Workshop, we enthusiastically welcome submissions from postgraduate and early-career researchers working on the following subjects, or on other topics related to the conference theme:

Critical Appraisals of Institutions and Prosperity:

Alternative approaches to understanding the role of institutions in national development.

Alternative Measurements of Development:

New frameworks for assessing institutional effectiveness and societal progress.

Southern-based Explanations for Global Wealth Inequalities:

Insights into how the wealth of rich nations perpetuates disparities.

Models of Economic Development:

Innovative theories that challenge orthodox economics and propose alternative fundamentals.
Contributors are encouraged to adopt critical, critical and heterodox perspectives on the role of institutions in development, drawing upon diverse disciplinary lenses such as economics, sociology, political science, and development studies. Furthermore, we eagerly anticipate contributions that amplify the voices and experiences of marginalized communities and societal segments.

Submission Guidelines
Abstract Length: Up to 500 words
Deadline for Abstract Submission: 24 November 2024
Notification of Acceptance:2 December 2024
Full Paper Deadline: 31 January 2025
Word Count for Papers: 3,000 to 5,000 words

Submitted papers should adhere to the conference’s author guidelines. Applicants can also apply to be considered for a travel and accommodation scholarship. For any inquiries or clarifications, please do not hesitate to contact the Working Groups via email to: inequality@youngscholarsinitiative.org

Dimensiones de los (Neo-) Extractivismos: Espacio, Resiliencia y Narrativas para la Transición Ecológica
Dimensions of (Neo-) Extractivism: Space, Resilience, and Narratives of the Ecological Crisis

////ENGLISH VERSION BELOW////
La demanda global por las llamadas Materias Primas Críticas (CRMs por sus siglas en inglés) ha renovado los debates sobre nuevas formas de extractivismo en las fronteras globales de recursos, con Sudamérica y sus yacimientos como uno de sus puntos focales. A medida que las inversiones de países industrializados fluyen hacia proyectos mineros en nuestra región, las formas de vida, las ecologías y las narrativas, se están reconfigurando para adaptarse a la demanda de estos llamados materiales ‘críticos’ para la transición, así como para la acumulación de capital que acompaña su extracción.
Las ganancias de estos proyectos siguen sin llegar a las personas afectadas, perpetuando ciclos de dependencia y desigualdad a nivel regional, nacional e internacional. Esto refuerza la marginalización y las dinámicas Centro-Periferia, creando nuevas (o acentuado viejas?) dinámicas de estratificación y migración con consecuencias inevitables para las comunidades locales, que una vez más ven sus formas de ser, pensar y hacer interrumpidas por las nuevas cotidianidades y modos de hacer que se instalan en sus territorios.
En este proceso de concentración y centralización de la riqueza en forma de dinero abstracto, los modelos de extracción transforman paisajes, biodiversidades, ecologías y geografías humanas. Ya sea por la transformación hidrogeológica o la minería a cielo abierto, el mundo más-que-humano es adaptado, manipulado y modificado, con efectos severos e impredecibles para los sistemas ecológicos que sostienen el bienestar humano y más-que-humano. Las comunidades y sus infraestructuras se alteran para crear nuevas arquitecturas y cotidianidades, cuyas implicancias en la psicología humana aún no pueden comprenderse.
Por otro lado, bajo la actual búsqueda de una “Transición Verde”, los modelos de desarrollo occidentales a menudo integran prácticas extractivistas que priorizan el aumento de la renta por encima de una comprensión más holística de las relaciones entre humanos y naturaleza. Este enfoque incurre en lo que se denomina “epistemicidio”: la destrucción sistemática de formas alternativas de conocimiento, de ser, estar, pensar y hacer, incluyendo diversas cosmovisiones que ofrecen interpretaciones alternativas sobre el mundo y nuestras interacciones con él.
Nuestros imaginarios sociales y ecológicos — a saber: los significados y entendimientos comunes que moldean cómo las personas experimentamos y entendemos el mundo — no se forman solo en el ámbito abstracto de las ideas, sino a través de experiencias tangibles y reales de la vida cotidiana. Al despojar a las comunidades y perturbar estas formas de vida, corremos el riesgo de perder la posibilidad de replantear la(s) narrativa(s) para enfrentar el colapso ecológico.
Una transición ecológica justa requiere un replanteo profundo de nuestra relación con el mundo más-que-humano, una relación que abrace el equilibrio y la reciprocidad en lugar de la dominación y explotación. Este equilibrio puede ser nutrido dentro de las cosmovisiones existentes en el Sur Global, pero solo si se preservan y se les permite florecer, en lugar de ser transformadas para ajustarse a un modelo impulsado por la renta. Queremos pensar el Sur no como un “‘aún-no-Norte” o como un “Norte incompleto”, sino reconfigurar nuestra comprensión de la modernidad a la luz del Sur, de modo de fomentar narrativas diversas y reformular nuestras formas de vivir, pensar, ser, estar y hacer.
El pre-evento de las IV Jornadas de Sociología tendrá lugar el 5 de Marzo de 2025 en la Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata y busca reunir voces que investigan los (Neo)-Extractivismos desde perspectivas críticas y locales, independientemente del campo general de su investigación.

ENGLISH VERSION
The global push for Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) has renewed discussions about new forms of extractivism on the global resource frontier, with South America and its deposits as one of its focal points. As investments from industrialized countries flow into mining projects across the region, livelihoods, ecologies, and narratives are being reshaped to accommodate the demand for so-called transition materials and the capital accumulation that accompanies it.
The profits from these projects continue to bypass affected people, perpetuating cycles of dependency and inequality on regional, national, and international scales. It reinforces marginalization and creates new dynamics of stratification and migration, with unforeseen consequences for local communities, new arrivals, and people who seem spatially distant but participate in this process through webs of power and exchange.
Extraction models landscapes, ecologies, and human geographies, in this process of wealth concentration in abstract monetary form. Be it for hydrogeological transformation, or open-pit mining, the more-than-human world is adapted and modified, with severe and unpredictable effects for the ecological systems that sustain human wellbeing and form the living earth. Human settlements and infrastructures are altered to create new architectures and quotidianities, whose implications on the human-psyche are yet to be understood. At the same time, they express the forms of hierarchies that dictate those changes.
Finally, under the current pursuit of a “Green Transition”, Western models of development are often embedded with extractivist practices that prioritize profit-driven motives over a more holistic understanding of human-nature relationships. This approach commits the term “epistemicide”—the systematic destruction of alternative ways of knowing, being, thinking and understanding, including diverse cosmovisions that offer alternative understandings about the world and our interactions with it.
Our social and ecological imaginaries—shared meanings and assumptions that shape how people experience the world—are not formed solely in the abstract realm of ideas but through tangible, embedded and real experiences. By dispossessing communities and disrupting these embedded ways of life, we risk losing the possibility to rethink the narrative(s) to address the ecological collapse.
A just ecological transition requires a profound rethinking of our relationship with the more-than-human world—one that embraces balance and reciprocity instead of dominance and exploitation. This equilibrium can be nurtured within the cosmovisions existing in the Global South, but only if they are preserved and allowed to flourish, instead of being reshaped to fit within a profit-driven model. We want to think of the South not as “an incomplete ‘not-yet’ North” but reshape our understanding of modernity in the light of the South, in order to foster diverse narratives and reshape our ways of living, thinking and being.
The pre-conference of the IV Jornadas de Sociología at Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata will take place the 5th of March 2025 and aims to bring together voices that research (Neo)-Extractivism from critical perspectives independent of the general field of their research. Only an interdisciplinary approach, might be able to capture the dimensions that constitute the totality of this phenomenon and therefore, we invite Young Scholars from Sociology, Economics, Political Sciences, Human and Non-Human Geography, Natural Sciences, Philosophy, Anthropology, as well as other fields, to share their research in this collaborative setting.

2nd Edition of Inclusive Development Conference: Housing and Urban Land Management in an Unequal World
2025-03-05 - 2025-03-07 | National Law School of India University, Gnana Bharathi Main Road, Bengaluru, Karnataka, 560072, India
Housing affordability and urban land management have become a tumultuous challenge for countries that are rapidly urbanising. These challenges are reshaping the question of urban property. Established instruments of land management, such as zoning, tenure management, building obligations, taxation, expropriation, incentives and subsidies, land readjustment, land redistribution and reform, environmental and conservation regulation, different ownership models, financialisation of land and housing, and public land management have their scope and limits. In response, new innovations are emerging in both formal and informal land management. Hybrid spaces, technology-assisted cartographies and property registries, collective property ownership, and informal property regimes are among the approaches seeking to address the dual goals of equitable access and efficient management. The convergence of law, economics, and policy is critical in shaping the future of urban development. Yet, scholarship on the interface of law and spatial dimensions of the city is scant. Where such scholarship does exist, it is often confined to isolated case studies from the Global South, which are frequently dismissed as exceptions rather than being integrated into the broader global discourse on urban studies.
In many regions, in the Global North and the Global South, the expansion of urban centres has been marked by the commodification of land and housing, further deepening the divide between the wealthy and marginalised communities. Public policies and legal frameworks often struggle to keep pace with the complexities of this expanding urban fabric, leading to gaps in affordable housing provision and sustainable land management. While innovative solutions like collective ownership models and inclusive zoning regulations have shown promise, the questions remain are (1) how can these innovations be effectively scaled in a world marked by deep economic and social inequalities? (2) What governance changes are desirable to design a responsive urban land management?
The conference aims to examine the complex interplay of housing, law, economics, and spatial justice in an unequal world, and we welcome scholars and practitioners to participate.
Applicants may choose to focus on one or more of the following prompts while developing their abstracts:

What are the recent developments in the discourse of housing rights? What are the socio-economic drivers behind the shift in these discourses?
What are the spatial dimensions of the expansion of capitalist markets in real estate that lead to specific forms of housing projects? What are the innovations in land management on the ground mediated by technology as well as financial instruments?
The rise of condominiums as patterns of human settlements are simultaneously marked by urban vacancy. Are the existing regulatory frameworks sufficient to contain inequality contributed by financialised housing markets?
As urbanisation is intensifying, there is a growing demand for public services. Yet, the liveability of these cities is not improving. Rather, patterns of gentrification are visible in spite of interventions for urban services. What are the good practices across the globe to make urban property valuation more inclusive?
Informal housing has frequently, albeit wrongly, been equated with illegal housing. How has law played an active role in the politics of dispossession?
How has the accumulative logic of neoliberal governance aggravated spatial inequality? In what ways has this neoliberal logic disproportionately impacted the lives of marginalised populations?

The themes we have identified and will be listed on the call for abstracts/papers, including but not restricted to, are as follows:
Housing Rights, Social Justice, and Economic Policy

Housing as a human right and its intersections with law and economic policies.
Legal and economic frameworks promoting or hindering housing justice.
Focus on marginalised communities and global perspectives on housing rights.

Legal and economic frameworks promoting sustainable urban growth and environmental justice.

Gentrification, Urban Vacancy, and Inclusive Development

Spatial inequalities caused by gentrification and urban redevelopment.
Addressing urban vacancy through legal and economic policies.
Best practices for promoting inclusive urban growth and equitable public service distribution.

Informal Housing, Dispossession, and the Politics of Space

Legal and economic dimensions of informal housing and dispossession.
The politics of identity, space and inequality in urban development.
Comparative perspectives on marginalised communities and their housing challenges.

Law, Finance, Technology, and Urban Inequality

Intersection of legal frameworks, financial instruments, and technology in urban land management.
Effects of financialisation and technological advancements on urban (in)equality.
Impact on marginalised populations and spatial inequality in cities.

This reading group has been created to amplify and deep our knowledge on money and finance from a wide perspective that can embrace the complexity of money’s nature, thus, the complexity of the financial system and its dynamics. Moreover, as it was cleverly unveiled by Émile Zola in his book L’Argent, the first book discussed in this reading group, money and finance are rooted in every sphere of human beings (social, political, religious, personal, etc.), therefore, their inquiring and comprehension cannot neglect this this reality.
The reading group started with an initial selection of books proposed by Professor Jan Toporowski, however, the path we will walk together will be opened and determined by the interests and tastes of the group members.

Gender Equality in Cooperatives and the Growing Relevance of Artificial Intelligence
2025-03-08 17:00 - 18:30 (America/New_York) | https://heske.wisdmlabs.net/event/gender-equality-in-cooperatives-and-the-growing-relevance-of-artificial-intelligence/
The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is a force that cannot be ignored. It has permeated various forms of business, particularly those aligned with globalisation. While the integration of AI into traditional business models has been gradual, its impact is now essential for effective and efficient entrepreneurship. This is especially true for cooperatives, where adopting AI is not just a trend but a crucial step toward future success. Historically, cooperative movements have been male-dominated. In many of the countries, male domination has spread from the traditional times till date, in the society and in various section. In the Global South, there is a prevailing notion that, although no data is suggesting that one gender possesses inherently better expertise or mental capacity than the other, statistics consistently show that fewer women are involved in AI compared to their male counterparts. This imbalance is particularly evident within the cooperative movement in many countries of the Global South, such as India, Pakistan, Nigeria, and Uganda. Consequently, it is crucial for cooperatives in these regions, particularly the female gender, to embrace AI to help to change the gender dynamics and increase female representation in feminist cooperativism. To alter these gender dynamics, it is imperative for cooperatives in the Global South to actively promote AI involvement among women. Enhancing female representation in feminist cooperativism through AI not only empowers women but also fosters inclusive growth and innovation within the cooperative movement. Neglecting this imperative could risk marginalising feminist cooperativism further. Therefore, proactive measures are essential to ensure women are not left behind in the AI revolution, particularly within cooperative frameworks. This webinar will examine the role of AI in cooperatives and discuss the importance of female involvement in digital cooperativism while underscoring the transformative potential of AI in fostering gender equality within the cooperative movement.

INET-YSI Doctoral Scholars’ Conference: Understanding India’s Northeast from Emerging Perspectives
2025-03-11 08:00 - 2025-03-12 20:00 (Asia/Kolkata) | Omeo Kumar Das Institute of Social Change and Development, VIP Road, Guwahati, Assam, 781036, India
About the Conference:
The conference aims to bring doctoral research scholars across different universities and institutions located in Northeast India onto one platform to understand the emerging research dynamics of the region. The conference would be an opportunity for research scholars in Social Sciences to present their work, interact with peers and experts, and deliberate on issues concerning the region. The Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) and its Young Scholars Initiative (YSI) are collaborating with Omeo Kumar Das Institute of Social Change and Development, Guwahati, to organize the “Doctoral Scholars’ Conference” from March 11th to 13th, 2025.
Background
The significance of India’s Northeastern region remains in its geo-strategic location, ethnic and cultural diversity, rich ecological and natural resources. However, the region faces unique challenges due to its landlocked geography, infrastructural bottlenecks, environmental vulnerabilities, and economic underdevelopment. Given the history of colonial encounters and the subsequent context of integration with the mainland, the region needs critical empirical engagement and academic articulation to comprehend its complexity and diversity.
There are myriad fields of academic engagement across disciplines of Social Sciences that provide numerous perspectives as far as understanding the region is concerned. Considering the diversity in geography and demography, dynamics of the rural economy and emerging trends of development and resource management, the region remain a significant part of academic engagement. Since around 85 per cent of the population constitute rural population, their economic concerns and issues of livelihood need proper understanding. Similarly, issues and concerns of public health are also important areas where the attention of the academia is crucial for better policy implications. Environmental sustainability is another significant area where academic intervention is required.
Further, societies in the region is apparently termed as gender egalitarian. However, changing dynamics of economic relations have also influenced gender relations in peculiar ways, which necessitates newer research. Besides, understanding the region from its strategic location is also important as it shares international border with five countries and is projected as the gateway of India towards the East. Thus, the implication of recent developments in world politics in general and changing dynamics in India’s neighbourhood, in particular on the region, needs critical attention.
Thus, the proposed Doctoral Scholars’ Conference would deliberate on, but not limited to, the following subthemes:

Northeast India and its Neighbourhood
Environmental Concerns and Sustainability
Dynamics of Rural Economy
Resource and Development
Gender Relations
Issues of Public Health
Others

Prospective Participants:

Session 2: Analysis of Returns to Education-Occupation Mismatch in Presence of Informality Evidence from Urban Labour market in India
September 27, 2024, 6.30 PM Indian Standard Time
Speaker: Dr. Ravikiran Naik, Assistant Professor – of Economics. FLAME University, India. He received his Doctorate Degree in Economics from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, and has completed his master’s in Economics from Gokhale Institute of Politics & Economics-Pune. He was also a Post-Doctoral Fellow at Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS), Bangalore. Prof. Ravikiran has over nine years of work experience and was associated with the Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA), Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS), and Christ University- Lavasa. He is an applied economist by training and has a keen interest in the research areas involving Labor Economics, Informal employment and Entrepreneurship, Intergenerational economic mobility, and economics of education. He has published peer review articles in national & international journals. He has also co-authored a book titled ‘Women Entrepreneurs in The New Indian Middle Class: Macro & Micro Perspectives.
Abstract
This study examines the impact of education-occupation mismatch (EOM) on wages in India’s urban labor market, where informal employment is widespread. While it is generally accepted that higher education leads to higher earnings, concerns arise when the number of highly educated individuals outpaces the availability of jobs requiring their qualifications, potentially leading to credentialism rather than a more skilled workforce. Our research fills a gap in the existing literature by analyzing the combined effects of EOM and labor market informality on earnings. We estimate the returns to over-education, under-education, and adequate education across both formal and informal sectors. The findings indicate that returns to education are consistently lower in the informal sector compared to the formal sector. Workers with adequate education receive significantly higher returns in both sectors, while those with under-education suffer wage penalties regardless of their employment type. The returns to education also vary across the wage distribution: in the formal sector, adequate education yields higher returns in lower wage segments but decreases in the upper segments. Conversely, in the informal sector, returns increase steadily across the wage distribution, with the highest returns in the top decile, suggesting a convergence with the formal sector at the upper end. Additionally, returns to over-education rise along the wage distribution in both sectors, while returns to under-education remain consistently lower. These results hold across different econometric models and definitions of informality. The study underscores a significant wage penalty for workers in the informal sector who have invested in education, suggesting that policies aimed at reducing labor market informality could help mitigate EOM and decrease the associated earnings penalties.

Session 3: Women’s Time Use Patterns of Paid and Unpaid Work in India
November 7, 6.30 PM IST Indian Standard Time
Speaker: Dr. Vijayamba R, Assistant Professor – of Economics. NLSIU, India.
Vijayamba is a development economist interested in studying women’s work in the labour markets. She completed her postdoctoral stint at the Centre for Sustainable Employment, Azim Premji University, and was part of the research team behind the State of Working India (SWI) Report 2023, focusing on the role of social identities on labour market outcomes. Her PhD research focused on women’s role in the livestock economy, including their ownership of livestock assets, labour contribution, and decision-making in the livestock economy. She is currently awarded a Non-Resident Post-Doctoral fellowship by the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER)-National Data Innovation Centre (NDIC) to explore measurement issues of women’s work using secondary data. Her research interests include women’s work, the utilization of time, decision-making, social norms, and issues of measurement. Her other interests include reading, travelling, and practising music.
Abstract
This talk presents estimates of women in economic activity using the Time Use Survey of India (TUS 2019). In India, the broad patterns of time use reveal that women engage in a predominant share of unpaid work leaving less time for employment and leisure. This paper asks if engagement in employment results in an offsetting reduction on unpaid work across different levels of education and types of employment. Identifying self-employment and wage employment from the International Classification of Activities for Time Use Statistics (ICATUS 2016), for women engaged in self-employment, there is a slight trade off with unpaid work. Whereas urban graduate women face an increased burden of unpaid work.

Session 4: Justice For All? The Impact of Legal Aid in India

February 6, 2025, 6.30 PM IST Indian Standard Time
Speaker: Dr. Nitin Kumar Bharti, Postdoctoral Associate, NYU Abu Dhabi
Nitin Bharti is a postdoctoral scholar in the Economics department of the New York University-Abu Dhabi. He received his Ph.D. from the Paris School of Economics and the University of Namur in 2022. Before that, he earned his bachelor’s degree from IIT-Kharagpur and has two years of experience working in the corporate sector. He is an applied micro-economist, and his research interests lie in understanding the development of educational systems and their linkage with economic growth and inequality. He is also interested in studying the long-term evolution of economic inequalities in the South Asia region.
Abstract
Barriers to justice perpetuate poverty and inequality. We study a large expansion of access to legal representation in India: the establishment of prison legal aid clinics. We collect the opening dates of 763 clinics and link them with data on 13 million criminal
cases and prison populations. Using a staggered difference-in-differences design, we find that defendants with access to legal aid are more likely to receive definitive judgements, favorable outcomes, and acquittals, with more cases dismissed early. This reform reduces prison populations, sparing 31,055 individuals annually and yielding a welfare gain of $7.60 for every dollar invested in legal aid.

Session 5: Role of informal economy in the process of economic development
March 11, 2025, 6.30 PM IST Indian Standard Time
Speaker: Surbhi Kesar, Senior Lecturer, Department of Economics, SOAS University of London

Surbhi Kesar is a development and political economist, who currently works as a Senior Lecturer in Department of Economics at SOAS University of London. Her recent and ongoing work focusses on labour and informal economy and the reproduction of the structure of economic dualism in India with high economic growth, thereby critiquing the imaginary of development-as-capitalist-transition; relation between identities and social exclusion; political economy of crises; a critical engagement with the social reproduction theory; and approaches towards decolonising the field of economics. Her research is embedded in Marxian Political Economy and South-centric critical frameworks of economics.
Abstract
Despite a high economic growth experienced by the India, a vast majority of its workforce derives livelihoods from the informal economy. In this talk, we reflect on how different strands of literature – both mainstream and critical – have explained the persistence of the informal economy and what role it plays in the process of economic development. Using data from individual and firm level surveys, over the period of high growth, we assess various dynamics of India’s informal economy . We reflect on why India’s experience does not square with the dominant theories and posit an alternative framework, following the works of Kalyan Sanyal, that can help us make sense of the current reality. Building on it, we derive the research agenda on informal economy and post-colonial capitalist development and posit the questions that need answering.

Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience in Agriculture: Strategies for Sustainable Development in South Asia
2025-03-17 08:00 - 2025-03-19 19:00 (Asia/Kolkata) | IFMR Graduate School of Business, KREA University, 5655, Central Expressway, Sri City/Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, 517646, India
Climate change is an increasing issue in the twenty-first century, threatening people’s lives and livelihoods worldwide (Vatsa et al., 2023). It has a significant impact on agriculture (Fahad et al., 2023). Climate changes, such as rising temperatures, rainfall variations, droughts, floods, and cyclones, have an enormous effect on the agricultural sector, causing uncertainty in farmers’ livelihoods and threatening a country’s food security and economic growth. South Asia, which includes India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka, is extremely sensitive to climate change consequences because of its diverse agro-climatic zones and substantial reliance on agriculture (IPCC, 2013). Agriculture generates the most jobs and contributes significantly to the region’s GDP. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projects that South Asia will experience a temperature increase of 1.56–5.44 °C by 2080, depending on future development scenarios (IPCC, 2007). It will impact crop yields and agricultural productivity. For instance, Lobell et al. (2012) indicate that a 1°C increase in temperature could reduce rice yields by about 10% and wheat yields by 7% in South Asia.
As countries in the region begin to respond to climate-related risks in agriculture, such as through national action plans or policies, there currently needs to be more focus on local-level dynamics in agricultural systems. Smallholder farmers are particularly vulnerable to stresses and shocks such as rainfall variability, droughts, floods, and cyclones (Bhattacharyya & Werz, 2012). Farmers in South Asia constantly search for strategies to adapt to climate-related risks in agriculture. Adaptation to climate change encompasses any action aimed at decreasing vulnerability and bolstering the resilience of a system (Adger, 2006; Vogel & Meyer, 2018). Consequently, the actual effects of climate change are significantly influenced by the system’s adaptive capacity. Indeed, effective adaptation strategies can mitigate the adverse impacts of climate change on agriculture. Farmers in South Asia at the farm level opt for various on-farm and off-farm adaptive strategies to cope with climatic shocks in agriculture. Moreover, the national governments of the different countries have initiated several agricultural innovations and policies to encourage the adoption of climate-smart agricultural innovations.
These adaptation strategies at the farm level include both traditional practices and modern innovations. Traditional practices often involve altering planting calendars, selecting more resilient crop varieties, and adopting water conservation techniques such as rainwater harvesting and efficient irrigation systems (Fahad et al., 2023). These approaches have been refined over generations to cope with local climate variability. In recent years, modern technologies have also played a crucial role in enhancing adaptive capacity. Precision agriculture techniques, for example, utilize data-driven approaches to optimize inputs such as water, fertilizers, and pesticides, thereby increasing efficiency and resilience to climate stresses (Vatsa et al., 2023). Additionally, the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices, including agroforestry, integrated pest management, and sustainable soil management, has gained traction across the region (IPCC, 2013).
These practices not only contribute to climate resilience but also promote long-term sustainability by achieving a number of sustainable development goals (SDG). First, by implementing climate-resilient agricultural practices and technologies, South Asian countries can enhance agricultural productivity and ensure food security despite climate variability (IPCC, 2013; Fahad et al., 2023). This contributes directly to SDG 2 targets, i.e., aims to end hunger, achieve food security, and improve nutrition. Second, Smallholder farmers, who constitute a significant portion of the population in South Asia, rely heavily on agriculture for their livelihoods (Bhattacharyya & Werz, 2012). By improving agricultural productivity and resilience, countries can lift farmers out of poverty, create more resilient rural economies, and promote inclusive economic growth (Lobell et al., 2012). Hence, this will promote SDG 1, of no poverty, and SDG 8, of decent work and economic growth. Third, Climate-smart agricultural practices not only enhance productivity but also conserve natural resources such as soil and water, contributing to ecosystem resilience and biodiversity conservation, which promote SDG 15 (Fahad et al., 2023). Last, SDG 13 focuses on climate action, urging countries to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. Adaptation strategies in agriculture, such as adopting climate-smart practices and enhancing resilience, are critical steps toward mitigating the adverse effects of climate change on food production and livelihoods in South Asia (Adger, 2006; Vogel & Meyer, 2018).
Furthermore, national governments in South Asia have recognized the urgency of addressing climate impacts on agriculture and have implemented various policies and initiatives. These include subsidies for climate-resilient seeds and technologies, support for agricultural insurance schemes, and investments in rural infrastructure such as roads and market facilities to improve farmers’ access to markets and information (Bhattacharyya & Werz, 2012). However, challenges remain in scaling up these adaptation strategies. Limited access to credit and markets, inadequate extension services, and fragmented land holdings hinder the widespread adoption of climate-smart practices among smallholder farmers (Lobell et al., 2012). Addressing these barriers requires concerted efforts from farmers, governments, civil society organizations, and the private sector to promote inclusive and sustainable agricultural development.
Against this background, the IFMR Graduate School of Business, Krea University, in collaboration with the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) and Young Scholars Initiative (YSI), invites papers from the PhD scholars and early career researchers (within 5 years of the PhD) for a three-day conference on Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience in Agriculture: Strategies for Sustainable Development in South Asia The submissions can be in the areas listed below, but not limited to it.
