NBER Summer institute 2024 - international economics and geopolitics workshop - call for papers

We are organizing a session on International Economics and Geopolitics (IEG) to be held for the first time at this year's Summer Institute.  The session will take place for a full day on July 11, 2024.

We are planning for an in-person meeting in Cambridge, MA. The presentations will also be streamed live on the NBER YouTube Channel.

The NBER International Economics and Geopolitics (IEG) meeting aims to bring together researchers from different areas of economics who are interested in this topic broadly defined. We welcome submissions of theoretical and empirical work at the intersection of international macroeconomics, international trade, finance, and political economy.  Topics of interest include but are not restricted to:

- Economic statecraft, geoeconomics, and fragmentation
- Trade and financial sanctions
- The strategic role of the Dollar and the US financial system
- Global supply chains risks and resilience
- Competition in the international monetary and financial system
- Global payment and settlement systems
- The US-China economic and political relationship
- Political economy of sovereign and official lending and default
- Industrial policy within and across borders
- Geopolitical conflicts and their implication for economic performance

If you have a paper that you would like to present in this IEG session, please upload it in pdf format to http://www.nber.org/confsubmit/backend/cfp?id=SI24IEG by 11:59 pm (EST) on March 21, 2024.  Submissions from researchers with and without NBER affiliations, from early career scholars, and from researchers from under-represented groups are welcome.
