Annual Conference SITES 2023 (Naples September 14-16)
Description
Persistence and Change: the new challenges for economic development
Culture, geography, and institutions are factors influencing economic development and growth with remarkable and persistent effects overt time and across generations. In unstable environments, however, such “factors of persistence” may also change rapidly by adapting to the evolving social, political, and geographical contexts.
Recently, the global economy is experiencing a period of high instability with continuous changes in the social, political, and geographic environment. Increasing inequalities, climate change, conflicts, health emergencies, financial and energy crises, international trade, and migration are important factors affecting the environment and driving rapid changes in institutions, culture, and geography.
Understanding the direction of these changes and the factors affecting this process is of paramount importance to develop adequate strategies for governing societies and assuring the economic development and prosperity of global economy.
The aim of the conference is to provide a forum, in the field of development economics, that can be useful for identifying the factors of Persistence and Change by delivering an improved understanding of the spatial and social distribution of the impacts of changing environments across regions, economic sectors and different socio-economic groups.
The international conference SITES – 2023 invites the submission of long abstracts for research papers, participant panels, and posters related to the topics of the conference and the general themes of development economics.
