The European Institute and Contemporary Turkish Studies at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) as well as the Department of Land Economy at the University of Cambridge are jointly organizing a workshop on the Political Economy of Türkiye.

There will be a dedicated discussant for each paper, as well as open floor discussion. One of the invited papers will receive the “Atakan Yalçın Best Paper Award” presented by the keynote speaker. Both theoretical and empirical contributions are welcome. Papers are invited on the following (non-exhaustive) list of topics:

·       Elections, political crises, democracy, and nationalism

·       Inflation, exchange rates, bank credit, systemic risks

·       Political connections, trade, firm performance, urban economics, regional inequality 

·       Economics of immigration and demographic transition

·       Educational reforms, family and health policies, and topics in public economics

There is no registration fee, and we aim to offer accommodation (and a few travel grants) for the invited speakers. While we accept preliminary versions, presenters need to submit full papers. The authors will be notified about the acceptance of papers by 31st March 2026.
