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. Conference 
topics will include, but are not limited to: _ distribution and human capital accumulation _ distribution and demographic 
transition _ distribution, structural change, and growth _ the simultaneous determination of income distribution and 
growth _ technological progress and wage inequality _ distribution and technological progress _ distribution, social 
conflict, and economic growth _ distribution, social capital, and growth _ models of the size distribution of income and 
wealth _ quality ladders, product innovation, and distribution _ education, human capital formation, and growth __ 
globalization and inequality __ the great divergence _ direction of causality in the relationship between distribution and 
economic growth _ identification of the channels by which distribution and economic growth interplay _ new tools for 
the empirical investigation _ stability of the functional distribution of income _ from Malthusian Stagnation to 
Sustained Growth _ old and new theories of economics growth _ the econometrics of growth and distribution _ 
endogeneity of growth and distributional relations _ identification of mean-reverting processes describing distribution 
and growth. 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. The submissions will be reviewed by a 
Scientific Committee consisting of: ? Duncan K. Foley ? Oded Galor ? Heinz D. Kurz ? Neri Salvadori ? Stephen J. 
Turnovsky 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. The Conference will be held in Lucca or in Pisa. Further information will be available at the site
