We invite submissions for the inaugural conference on the Political Economy of Aid. The conference is hosted by University College Dublin on October 12-13, 2023. The conference looks to bring together economists and political scientists to address political economy issues related to all types of international development assistance. Topics might include issues of development assistance allocation, effectiveness, mechanisms of delivery, or bureaucratic organization from the perspective of state and non-state donor partners, host governments, and non-governmental organizations in host countries.
Submission of Papers
Both empirical and theoretical papers will be considered. Please submit full papers or extended abstracts to samuel.brazys@ucd.ie. The deadline for submission is May 15, 2023. We will make decisions by June 15, 2023.
