The Jean Monnet Network: Trade & Investment in Services Associates (TIISA) går nu ut med ett Call for papers till konferensen 2021. I linje med nätverkets tvärvetenskapliga inriktning inkluderar detta papper inom juridik, statsvetenskap, företag och ekonomi.

TIISA Annual Hybrid Online Conference
November 8-12, 2021 on Zoom and in Örebro / Stockholm — PhD Workshop / Conference Sessions held daily

Sponsored by Erasmus+ and hosted by AI-Econ Lab, Örebro University, Sweden, as well as partner Ratio and the Swedish Entrepreneurship Forum.

The hybrid TIISA Annual Conference is on the theme of “Trade and the digital transformation of services”. The COVID-19 crisis has seen an acceleration of the digital transformation of services and a rise in remote delivery of services both within and across borders. There is consequently an impetus to update trade policy and regulatory frameworks to unleash the potential for the digital transformation to support sustainable growth and job creation all over the world. Against this backdrop we invite papers covering, but not limited to, the following topics:

The digital transformation of services and the WTO rule book
The digital transformation of services: lessons from free trade agreements and digital economy agreements
Digital transformation, services trade and jobs
Innovation, entrepreneurship and the development of new digital services
Regulatory impact on data-driven innovation in (digital) services (e.g. data and privacy protection, GDPR)
The role of competition and competition policy in shaping global digital services markets
Sector studies of digital transformation and trade (e.g. finance, telecom, media, health, education)

For more information about the conference and how to submit papers, please see the following document.
