Call for Papers
In the twenty first century national systems, both economic and political, in various parts of the world are going through dramatic changes. There is a shift in the issues that attract the attention and responses of common people and policymakers. In the twentieth century, the attention of policymakers and debates, as well as discourses in the public space had revolved around economic redistributive conflict. However, the emergence of populism, which has been brought about due to the diffusion of social media, the internet and repeated financial crisis, shifted the focus of discourse from distributive issues to debates located in themes such as nationalism, social conservatism, and social progression. Putting it another way, public debate and discussion have veered around two strands namely nationalism and social conservatism on the one hand and cosmopolitanism and social progressive viewpoints. For this conference, topics related to the following are welcome but are not limited to:
Rationality and Bounded Rationality
Nudge and populism
New Institutional Economics and populism
Well Being
Game Theory and populism
Religion and Economics Decision.
Neuro Economics
Economic and Analytics
Behavioral Economics
Innovation Economics
Gender Economics
Economics of Social Sector
Innovation Economics
Migration and Uneven Development
Neoliberalism
Fiscal Sustainability
Economics of Labor
