Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) and Keio University will host the fifteenth annual Empirical Investigations in Trade and Investment (EITI) Conference. We are particularly interested in papers examining the nexus of international trade and investment and digital technologies as at least two sessions will be dedicated to this issue. Topics can include, but are not limited to, how digital technologies facilitate flows in goods, services, knowledge, and investment across borders, trade of digital technology within and between firms across countries, how the rise in digital technologies such as robots and AI has changed production, employment, and international trade, how electronics and other digitalizing industries have developed, and more.

Conference Format:

The conference will begin in the morning on Thursday and will continue through the following Saturday at noon. The program will include a total of 15 papers, with one hour per paper devoted to presentation (40 mins), discussant remarks (10 mins), and open discussion (10 mins).

All participants are expected to attend all sessions on the three days of the conference.

Travel Funding:

  • The conference budget is fairly generous. We certainly have the funds to cover travel expenses of those presenting papers and will likely have some limited funding to cover the expenses of discussants as well.
  • Note: We will be reimbursing discount business class air fare for long-haul flights (within Asia flights will be reimbursed at the discounted economy class level) and 4 nights of lodging at the conference hotel.

Submissions:

  • The submission deadline has passed.
  • Successful authors will be notified by January 22, 2024.

Conference Facility

The conference will be held in a meeting room in the hotel.
