Submissions are open for the 8th Conference on Law & Macroeconomics to be held on December 4-5, 2025 at the New York University School of Law in New York City. Submissions are due on or before September 15, 2025.
We live in a world of growing macroeconomic challenges brought about by the interconnected threats of climate change, pandemics, armed conflict, immigration, trade wars, financial instability, and ongoing technological disruption within the global markets for investment capital, goods, services, and labor. These challenges reinforce the importance of research at the intersection of law and macroeconomics. Together, these interconnected challenges are also the theme of the 8th Annual Conference on Law and Macroeconomics.
The conference organizers welcome submissions on the role of law, regulation, and institutions in:
- Monetary policy and price stability
- Financial regulation
- Fiscal policy
- Public debt
- International trade
- Development policy and financing for development
- Economic growth and efficiency
- Global macroeconomic/exchange rate coordination
- The economic impact of climate change
- Labor and migration patterns
- Technological disruption
The call for papers is open to scholars from all relevant disciplines, including but not limited to law, macroeconomics, history, political science, and sociology. Interested applicants should submit their papers for consideration on or before September 15, 2025 using this form. Abstracts and introductions are also welcome, but full drafts of accepted papers will be expected for distribution to conference participants by November 1, 2025.
