About & call for papers
The Asian Development Bank Institute runs this conference with the Journal of Development Economics as a combined call for a meeting and for an associated journal special issue on the determinants of sustained growth in middle-income economies. It gathers research on how developing economies can sustain and accelerate productivity growth and move to high-income status. Completed working papers and research proposals are both welcome; a selected subset is presented at the conference, and those papers are then considered for the special issue.
