The topics include but are not restricted to digital economy development; environmental, social, and corporate governance; firm resilience, productivity, and innovation; international trade, investment and finance; monetary and fiscal policy; housing bubbles and real estate markets.
Topics of the ADBI Special Sessions
The ADBI sessions cover themes including digitalization, financial inclusion, and financial literacy; impacts of artificial intelligence on economic activity; and sustainable development goals and climate change.
Special Issue
We will collaborate with Managerial and Decision Economics (MDE) to have the CAPE-MDE Special Issue. Papers selected from the conference will be recommended for the Special Issue (normal peer-review process applies). MDE is an international strategic management journal that applies economic reasoning to managerial decision-making and managerial economics. We welcome economic thinking and analysis that provides a critical foundation for strategic decision-making across a variety of areas, including law, economics, regulation, public finance and consumer theory.
