1st International Workshop in Universidad de la República

Political tensions associated with rising inequality, geopolitical rivalries weakening the multilateral system, financial instability, environmental issues, and persistent technological and productive asymmetries among developing and developed countries, are the current challenges of the international economy. Different paradigms in economics are trying to explain these crises and design policy responses to move towards sustainable development in its three dimensions, economic, social and environmental. Post-Keynesian, Structuralist, Institutionalist, Evolutionary, and Schumpeterian economists, among others, have contributed to the debate and expanded the opportunities for a pluralist conversation and cross-fertilization. This workshop aims to bring together researchers from different intellectual traditions and countries to discuss their research results and ongoing research advances on these major topics.

This workshop aims specially to promote the participation of Phd students and young scholars (3 years since earning a PhD degree) working in the following areas:

• The political economy of structural change and income distribution
• Economic, industrial and technological policies for a fair transition
• Models and empirical analysis on gender, caring society and development
• Center-periphery and the reshaping of the international insertion of the periphery
• Macroeconomic policy effects on structural change and income distribution
• Historical interpretations on structural change and multidimensional inequality
• Financial instability, debt and the financing of sustainable development
• How to combine different insights from different schools of thought, highlighting their complementarities and / or points of discordance
• Multidimensional poverty and the Sustainable Development Goals

Submitted work will most likely be considered if it is fully readable and does not lack substantial sections. We encourage authors to send their abstract in English, Portuguese or Spanish.

Workshop presentations: In the workshop, mentors will give feedback to the participants. The workshop will be organized in different sessions according to the research topic.
