The Sraffa-Keynes Approach: History, Theory and Applications
Summer school for young scholars to present their research that draws on the Sraffa-Keynes approach
The Economic Development Working Group of the Young Scholars Initiative (YSI) of the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) and Azim Premji University, Bengaluru invite you to a four-day summer school at Azim Premji University, Bengaluru.
This summer school follows in the footsteps of two past events that were organised in relation to Sraffa’s economics in India, also supported by the Economic Development Working Group of INET-YSI. In 2024, a 3‑day workshop was organised on the ‘Indian Reception to Sraffa’ and in 2022, a 2‑day workshop was organised on ‘Understanding Economic Theory and Development in a Sraffian Framework’, both at the University of Hyderabad.
- To understand the history of the economic ideas of Sraffa and Keynes
- To disseminate the various economic models developed from the Sraffa-Keynes synthesis, especially regarding economic growth, unemployment, and inflation
- To share the growing applied literature that employs the Sraffa-Keynes synthesis to understand economic dynamics both in the Global North and Global South
- A space for young scholars to present their research that draws on the Sraffa-Keynes approach and receive comments from senior scholars
