5th International Conference on Development Economics - Call for Papers
University Paris Nanterre and EconomiX (UMR 7235) are pleased to host the 5th International Conference on Development Economics (ICDE) of the French Association of Development Economics (AFEDEV), which will take place from July 2 to 4, 2025.
The ICDE objective is to bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of development economics and to provide a dynamic platform for discussing the latest research and challenges facing developing countries.
We welcome both empirical and theoretical contributions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: agriculture, climate change, energy policies, environmental issues, conflict, digitalisation and digital transition, economic history, employment, firm performance, economic growth, health, education, international trade, migration, monetary policy, population dynamics, gender, norms and culture, intra-household decisions, poverty, social protection, inequality, corruption, risk, insurance, taxation, vulnerability, governance and institutions.
The conference will feature the launch of the European Development Economics Group (EDEG). EDEG is a collaborative initiative bringing together development economics groups across different European countries. Each year, EDEG will organise a rotating conference, hosted in a different European country, with a local team taking the lead on organising the event. This year, AFEDEV is coordinating the launch event.
Full papers (in English or French) may be submitted for regular and poster sessions. All presentations will be given in English. Only one submission per author is permitted.
