15th International Global Studies Conference - A BLENDED CONFERENCE
| The Fifteenth Global Studies Conference - A conference organized by the Global Studies Research Network and the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece Founded in 2008, the Global Studies Research Network is devoted to mapping and interpreting past and emerging trends and patterns in globalization. We aim to traverse a broad terrain, sometimes technically and other times socially oriented, sometimes theoretical and other times practical in their perspective, and sometimes reflecting dispassionate analysis while at other times suggesting interested strategies for action. Our aim is to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions. https://onglobalization.com/about -------- CALL FOR PAPERS https://onglobalization.com/2022-conference/call-for-papers Place: Online + National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Athens, Greece Format: A mix of live, pre-recorded, and in person (at scale that's allowed) presentations and social interaction spaces. Dates: 21-23 July 2022 The Fifteenth Global Studies Conference calls for research addressing the following conference themes and special focus: Special Focus - What to Make of Crises: Emerging Methods, Principles, Actions It is a truism to say that ours is a period of crises. COVID-19 has massively destabilized the world, but the pandemic has not been the only upheaval hanging over us in recent years. The Great Recession of 2008 and its continuing aftermath, and the existential threat of climate change, are other major crises that have contributed to the apocalyptic zeitgeist of the early twenty-first century. The populist wave that has swept the world amid confusion sown by the volatility of neoliberal capitalism and fertilized by mushrooming conspiracy theories has further entrenched the catastrophist mood both in academia and society at large. However, while dysfunctional and oppressive in many ways, a time like this also provides a window of opportunity to rethink and redesign our politics, economy, social relations and relationship with nature. As we emerge from a long period of lockdowns, curfews, and personal losses, there are more questions than ever about the direction that the global community should take in order to advance a fairer, more inclusive, and balanced world. Through interdisciplinary debate and exchange of knowledge, the Fifteenth Global Studies conference will offer the participants plenty of food for thought and point to several ways out of the mess we are in. Conference Themes Theme One - Networks of Economy and Trade Theme Two - The Power of Institutions Theme Three - Vectors of Society and Culture Theme Four - Ecological Foundations -------- A BLENDED FUTURE For over 30 years, Common Ground has been invested in developing technologies that seek to break down barriers of access in scholarly communication. In each phase, we've built media platforms to support spaces for interdisciplinary dialogue, before such approaches were in vogue; connected international voices, when disciplines were too often isolated in national silos; and supported an agenda of access and equality, by offering pathways and opportunities for diverse voices. We now propose another kind of intervention: to build a scholarly communication infrastructure for a blended future. Our blended model seeks to transcend physical boundaries by offering a platform to extend in-person conference content online, while ensuring online-only delegates are afforded equal participatory and experiential spaces within the platform. At the same time, the model offers participants a legacy resource to which they can return in the Event application, with access to a social space in our Community application where fellow participants can keep connected long after the conference ends. Our blended conference experience is delivered on the CGScholar platform - developed by the Common Ground Media Lab, the research and technology arm of Common Ground Research Networks. https://onglobalization.com/2022-conference -------- RELATED CONFERENCES We understand travel is difficult in the current climate. For this reason, we also offer related thematic events in our sister Research Networks that you might be able to attend in-person. This way we build for our Research Network Members flexible, and at the same time resilient, spaces for communication, engagement, and participation.

*Abstract*
The presentation provide evidence on the capital reallocation effect of temporary federal tax incentives using data on a broad range of $298.6 billion worth of equipment purchases, spread over 3.32 million equipment transactions by 688,000 small businesses during 1998-2019. It is found that accelerated depreciation encourages the utilization of new capital goods. The tax subsidy on new equipment increases the supply of old equipment and lowers the old equipment's relative price. The reduced cost of old equipment thus eases the capital constraints for some small businesses and encourages business entry. Empirical results from the exercise highlights how investment in new capital goods motivated by tax incentives fosters reallocation of old capital goods to small businesses.
