The broad theme of the 2019 Development Economics Conference is framed along the lines of the late Douglas North’s seminal contributions of the late last century to address issues arising out of the social and political turbulence affecting the global community in the 21^st century. The conference will primarily aim to examine how these issues have been affecting the economic performance of nations at micro and macro levels. We expect this year’s conference to attract a large number of established scholars as well as early career researchers and PhD students from the UK and overseas universities and institutes.

 

The Organising Committee is pleased to announce the call for contributed papers which will be open till April 15, 2019. The initial submission could comprise either a full paper or an extended abstract (approximately 1000 words). Contributions from all areas of development economics are welcome, especially those subsumed under the broad conference theme. More specifically we seek contributions on the economic aspects of some of the following areas subsumed under the broad conference theme:

 

• Political and religious ideologies
• Social, cultural and legal institutions
• Class, caste and other societal hierarchy
• Constitutions, political institutions and governance
• Property rights, social contract and societal conflict resolution
• Mass media, freedom of expression and the ‘power of influence’
• Social norms, institutional constraints and the rights of the individual
