It was founded in June 1930 with an endowment offered by the late Rao Bahadur R.R.Kale to the Servants of India Society which was founded by the late Shri Gopal Krishna Gokhale.The Institute was initially affiliated to the University of Bombay, conducting the M.A. Programme in economics and supervising the work of students working towards research degrees of that University. In 1949, with the establishment of the University of Poona, the Institute became a constituent recognized institute of the new University. Till 1993 the Institute functioned, for all academic purposes, as the Department of Economics of this University. With the decision of the University to establish as separate Department of Economics at its campus, the Institute as a Centre of Advanced Study in economics was granted effective autonomy in 1986 in designing courses, teaching and examination of the M.A. Degree in economics. The Government of India, on their commendation by the University Grants Commission, has awarded a Deemed to be University status to the Institute in 1993.

About TIES, New DelhiThe Indian Econometric Society (TIES) is one of the most highly regarded associations of intellectuals and academicians in India and is known for the high quality research output at both national & international levels.

TIES organizes annual conference where experts from all over India and abroad participate and deliberate on various issues.

The human race seems to be uniquely poised with rapid shifts in multiple spheres of life.  Technology is arguably the biggest catalyst of radical changes. Artificial Intelligence raises concerns about its impact not only on employment, productivity and destruction of skills but a possible dominance of machines over humans and even man-machine convergence. Technology has also enabled wide-spread grassroots innovation, global connectivity and mobility. The availability of venture capital for anyone with a good idea and emerging models like crowdfunding democratized investment, which was hitherto the dominant privilege of large firms.

The economic renaissance of Asia and the growing promise of Africa and their consequent shift to the economic centerstage offers an excellent opportunity to study what models worked and what did not, what do they learn from the developed country experience and what home-grown models do they need to develop, replicate or adapt? Growing popularity of Sustainability goals reflects the dawning realization that the models that led to economic prosperity involved excessive preoccupation with materialistic pursuit and are counter-productive in the long run. Indigenous wisdom of ancient societies have embodied values of universality, long term orientation, inter-connectedness of all living and non-living entities and sustainable living. What can we learn from the ancient knowledge – be it of Confucius or Kautilya? How can the fields of Economics and Finance benefit from a study of a wide array of knowledge streams that form the modern and historical thought. What principles, values and models apply to the future?

Being relevant to the future also requires an understanding of the cross-generational paradigm shifts especially in the emerging economies. The traditional mindset of moving from the developing to the developed and the associated struggle has given way to a mindset of abundance in the younger generations, which raises several questions. What are the values, goals and aspirations of the youth? What kind of a future do they want to live in? Is the dominant thinking in Economics and Finance in sync with the changing paradigms? Can the models of Economics and Finance enable such a future? Do these fields need to adapt or reinvent themselves?

The trends indicate that the future will be radically different from the past. It is important that the fields of economics and finance are viewed from the larger perspective of their role in the society - on the time continuum of the past, present and future; at local and global levels; across different spheres of activity including business, governance, NGO, entrepreneurship, etc.

In this context, the conference places special emphasis on studies that view the disciplines of finance and economics through a multi-disciplinary lens and as enablers of society’s goals. Studies that draw knowledge from across different eras and geographies are especially encouraged. The areas mentioned below are only indicative. Papers that fit the broad objectives but do not correspond to the specific themes mentioned are also welcome.
