The Bank of Korea (BOK), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the IMF Economic Review are organizing a conference on “Asia: Challenges of Stability and Growth.” The conference will be hosted by the BOK and will take place in Seoul on September 26–27, 2013.

The conference will provide a forum to discuss innovative research on challenges of stability and growth that Asia is facing and to facilitate the exchange of views among researchers and policymakers. The Program Committee welcomes papers addressing the following issues in the context of Asia:

- Demographic challenges

Papers that do not fit into these categories, but that are related to the main theme of the conference, are also welcome.

Interested contributors should submit a draft paper or a 10-page proposal to the Program Committee. The proposal should include the title of the paper, the author(s)’ affiliation and contact information, the main questions to be examined, the most relevant literature, the intended contribution of the paper to the literature, and the possible data sets and methodology to be employed. All presenters will be reimbursed for travel expenses and accommodation.

Please submit your proposals by Friday, April 12, 2013 (e-mail to resasia@imf.org<mailto:resasia@imf.org>). Please use the contact author’s name as the name of the file. The Program Committee will evaluate all proposals in terms of originality, analytical rigor, and policy relevance and will contact the authors whose papers have been selected by late April, 2013.
