About the
Conference
Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT), an AACSB
Accredited Deemed to be University, has been organizing the
Conference on Empirical Issues in International Trade & Finance (EIITF)
biennial alternatively in its Delhi and Kolkata campuses since 2008.
A large number of National and International dignitaries working in
the field of International Trade and Finance have traditionally
participated in the conference.
This year the conference will be held in Kolkata
Campus on 12th and 13th December, 2024.
The theme for this year's EIITF Conference is ''Emerging Issues
in International Trade, Finance and Development''.
The world has been going through tumultuous times since the onset of
COVID-19 in early 2020. Just when the recovery process from this
traumatic experience begun, further disruptive geopolitical
incidents began to affect large parts of the world. The
Russia-Ukraine war, the Israel-Hamas conflict, Houthis disruptions
of the Red Sea trade route, conflicts in Africa, coupled with the
International movement of displaced people in Western Europe and
into the US are the some of the major incidents that profoundly
affected International economic progress in the past two years.
The conference this year is being organized in this
backdrop. We expect to receive papers on the above issues and their
effects on individual economies or the World economy.
However, the conference will not be limited to the above topics. As
usual, any topic falling under the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL)
classification E, F, G, L, and O will be considered for presentation
at the conference.
Shortlisted papers in the conference will be considered for
publishing in the Institute’s Journal Foreign Trade Review.
The papers will undergo the usual peer review process of the
journal.
