Conference Secretariat
This is a call for papers on the theme “Fiscal and Monetary Policies for Inclusive Growth in Developing and Emerging Markets”. Selected papers will be presented at an in-person conference at Bank of Korea in Seoul, Republic of Korea on 16-17 July 2025.
As the world grapples with persistent inequality and economic disparities, the role of fiscal and monetary policies in fostering inclusive growth has assumed greater significance. Developing and emerging markets face unique challenges and opportunities in crafting policies that not only stimulate economic growth but also ensure that the benefits are equitably distributed. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Bank of Korea are seeking original, unpublished papers to explore innovative approaches and evidence-based strategies that can enhance the effectiveness of fiscal and monetary frameworks in promoting inclusive development.
We invite contributions that examine the potential contribution of fiscal and monetary policies to promoting growth and development that benefit the entire population. Selected papers on the theme “Fiscal and Monetary Policies for Inclusive Growth in Developing and Emerging Markets” will be presented at an in-person conference to be held at the Bank of Korea in Seoul, Republic of Korea on July 16 and 17, 2025. For each paper, the organizers will provide travel and accommodation support for one author who is a citizen of an ADB member economy.
Papers presented at the conference will also be considered for publication in a special issue of the Journal of International Money and Finance (JIMF) following a fast-track review process. Papers considered for the JIMF special issue will be subject to the journal’s standard submission procedure.
