CONFERENCE AIM
The Conference aims at promoting and discussing research frontiers on a new economic paradigm that goes beyond reductionist approaches in five directions: i) human beings are more than homines economici, have also other-regarding preferences and are capable of cooperative equilibria in social dilemmas; ii) companies and organizations do not have profit maximization as their only goal but can also have a taste for social and environmental impact; (iii) well-being is more than GDP and requires multidimensional well-being indicators and macroeconomic analysis where interdependences between creation of economic value and social and environmental domains are taken into account; iv) political economy is not just top down, but includes the lever of participation and active citizenship in different forms; v) civic engagement of academics is important in times when vigilance and action to solve global crises are paramount and we risk widening the gap between scientific advances and the average culture and education of the population at large.
CONFERENCE TOPICS
Organizers welcome theoretical and empirical contributions related to the following research topics:
- Beyond homo economicus: contributions in the field of economics (such as capability approach, feminist, behavioral and comparative economics, ...) providing empirical evidence and/or discussing theories about individual preferences, role of empathy and emotions, caring regimes, educational and welfare systems, cooperative equilibria in social dilemmas, wondering how the new findings in this field can affect microeconomic foundations and macroeconomic approaches contributing to solve social and environmental dilemmas and to design better policies.
- Beyond profit maximization: theoretical and empirical contributions on purpose and goal of firms and organizations beyond profit maximization, with focus on social and environmental impact, gender equity and creation of economic value with values.
- Beyond GDP: contributions to the literature of multidimensional societal wellbeing taking into account social and environmental domains, capabilities, complex systems, multi-sectoral approaches, sustainable development and on the relative impact of income versus non income drivers on life satisfaction and life sense.
- Beyond the exclusivity of a top-down approach to political economy: theoretical and empirical contributions on the role and potential of grassroot initiatives, action of local communities, co-creation of welfare strategies of local administrations with profit and not for profit actors, horizontal and vertical subsidiarity and multi-level policies.
- Toward social engagement: theoretical and empirical contributions on the effects and importance of the civic role of academicians.
Contributions from the history of economic ideas in the five research fields would be greatly appreciated.
