Description

The workshop aims to bring together young scholars in North America whose work engages in critical thematic issues broadly relating to economic development and heterodox economics. The workshop consists of one panel under the following theme: Contemporary issues in Heterodox and Development Economics. Key areas of focus include structural inequalities, such as those related to income, gender, and race, and their impact on development. Discussions around globalization, monetary systems, and crisis management are also encouraged, particularly from perspectives that address the vulnerabilities of developing nations. Sustainable and inclusive development, including ecological economics and climate justice, offers another critical avenue for examining how environmental and social factors intersect with economic growth. Further, the theme emphasizes the importance of institutions, historical perspectives, and policy alternatives in shaping development trajectories. Topics such as the role of governance, labor markets, and industrial policy are central to the discussion, alongside heterodox theories of value and their implications for growth and distribution. By integrating theoretical innovation with practical applications, this panel seeks to foster dialogue that advances understanding of economic development challenges while proposing actionable solutions for more equitable and resilient economies.

We are calling for papers (titles) to be submitted by March 01. In both panels, successful applicants will be invited to present their complete papers. Following the panelists’ approximately 15-minute presentations, both senior scholars and younger scholars at the PEF will participate in discussions and offer feedback. The panels will take place on May 30 and May 31. Panelists will also be invited to participate in a working group dinner meeting.

Keynote Speaker: TBA

Paper titles should be submitted via the application form no later than March 01, 2024. Please include your name, affiliation, and contact details. Applicants can apply for travel stipends and lodging.
