Islamic Economics Workshop IX
Economic Growth and Development

Research Center for Islamic Economics (IKAM) in collaboration with Scientific Studies Association (ILEM), Turkish Entrepreneurship and Business Ethics Association (IGIAD) and Istanbul Commerce University will organize its 9th Islamic Economics Workshop from 08 to 10 April, 2021 under the theme “Economic Growth and Development in Low Income Countries”.

Developing countries in general and most of Muslim countries in particular, the low income ones, face a two-pronged challenge of growth and development, against which their performance so far has not been very promising. Muslim countries are frequently marred with economic afflictions including sluggish growth, low development and unending spirals of poverty. To make the matters worse, the capital and human (capital) accumulation levels as well as research, development and innovation in these countries have plummeted to near zero levels. This situation warrants a long-term and permanent solution, hence, looking at the pertinence of this topic and the critical need to devise a panacea to these two-pronged problems of growth and development, IKAM once again has decided to blaze the trial. With an aim to look into the aforementioned problems and propose viable solutions in the context of Islamic economics, in year 2021, under patronage of IKAM, experienced academia from the economics discipline would gather and offer different perspectives, critically evaluate the existing works and propose suggestions to set a common future course of action. Against this backdrop, topics that will be covered in the upcoming workshop will be related to (but are not restricted to) the following themes:

1. Capital accumulation in Muslim countries

2. Muslim countries amidst the enigma of growth and development

3. Private sector development in low income countries

4. Poverty and its eradication

5. Growth, inequalities and development

6. Environment and development

7. Markets and market failures

8. Social services and human capital

9. Research and innovation in the Muslim world

10. Economic growth: social and moral planes
