ASCE’s Twenty Sixth Annual Meeting: “Cuba: Assessing the Reforms”

July 28-July 30, 2016

The three-day conference, around the theme “Cuba: Assessing the Reforms,” will focus on evaluating the state of the Cuban economy taking into consideration developments that come out of the VII Congress of the Cuban Communist Party in April. The key issue remains whether Cuba will implement the economic reforms needed to stimulate the private sector and attract foreign investment to spur economic growth. Will Cuba seek to develop and modernize its primitive banking system? When will currency reform be implemented? When will the agricultural sector be restructured to increase productivity and output? Can we expect Cuba to develop its banking system and establish well-functioning capital markets? The conference will also include a plenary session on Cuban economic and political trends as well as sessions on social, legal, and sectoral issues related to the economy and a student panel.

We also hope to have again a strong presence of scholars and intellectuals from the island.

Requirements: Abstracts, papers, and/or panel proposals should describe original work related to the economy of Cuba in a broad sense, including legal, sectoral, and social aspects of economic development. Abstracts must not exceed 250 words and must be received via an email to [email protected] by May 22, 2016. Include the words “ASCE CONFERENCE ABSTRACT” in the subject line. Authors of accepted papers will be required to register for the annual conference. Visit our website http://www.ascecuba.org/ for further information.
