Call for papers "Inequality and social cohesion" - 13th International conference of the AFD, Paris
The Agence Française de Développement’s Research Department is organizing a high-level conference every two years. The aim of the conference is to bring together leading academics and policy-makers to discuss key issues in development economics. Over the last years, the AFD’s International Conference has brought up to debate crucial topics such as “Evaluation and its discontents” in 2012, “Energy for Development” in 2014 and “Commons and Development” in 2016.
The next edition of the conference will be held on December 6th and 7th 2018 in Paris and will be focused on inequality, social cohesion and development.
For AFD, fighting inequalities is a mean to improve the society in which we want to live in. In our view, research and actions to fight inequalities are in a constant development that needs a further understanding and must be taken into consideration by all the actors in the society. The AFD has been engaged for some years now to understand the stakes of inequality in order to better address this challenge. The conference’s objective is therefore to contribute to the growing knowledge on inequality, by bringing together practices and research carried out at a global scale.
The 6th of December will be dedicated to a scientific day for which we welcome papers investigating the issue of inequality and social cohesion in developing and emerging countries. Key topics include:
- Fiscal redistribution
- Sustainability
- The link between social inclusion, social cohesion and economic inequality
A selection of the papers will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Income Distribution.
The 7th of December will the dedicated to plenary sessions for which some of the confirmed invited speakers include:
Gaël Giraud (AFD)
Janet Gornick (CUNY-LIS Stone Center)
François Bourguignon (PSE)
James Galbraith (University of Texas)
Murray Leibbrand (University of Cape Town)
