Economic Growth and Distribution: On the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations Pisa (Italy), June 16-18, 2004 
To determine the laws which regulate ... distribution, is the principal problem in Political Economy. (Ricardo, Works, 
I, p. 5) Objectives The interaction between economic growth and distribution was the hallmark of classical economic 
theorizing. After the Second World War this theme experienced a revival, especially within the post-Keynesian and 
Classical/Marxian schools. With the development of the "new growth theory", starting in the mid 1980s – distribution 
and growth has become the subject of intensive research. In the recent literature growth and distribution is a lens 
through which we can investigate the complex interplay of the factors explaining the nature and causes of the wealth of 
nations: population growth structural change: technological progress and physical, social, and human capital 
accumulation. The goal of this Conference is to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of different 
approaches to the issues of growth and distribution, and their theoretical, empirical, historical and methodological 
implications. Submitting a Paper A combination of invited and submitted papers will be chosen for the final program, 
which will also include panel discussions. Submissions of whole sessions are welcome. It is planned to publish 
selections of papers in special issues of the European Journal of the History of Economic Thought, the Journal of 
Economic Growth, and in Metroeconomica and a larger selection in a volume with a major publisher. Papers that will 
be published in a special issue of a journal will meet the standards of that journal. All papers will be made available on 
the Internet until the end of the Conference. Deadlines Submission of a 1-2 page abstract (if possible, jointly with the 
whole paper) should be sent by email to , in pdf or in word format, before March 30, 2004. Authors will receive
