The World KLEMS initiative has been set up to promote and facilitate the analysis of growth and productivity patterns around the world, based on a growth accounting framework. By sharing information and knowledge through conferences and workshops, the World KLEMS consortium is committed to bring this work forward and help it to establish a firm grounding in the (inter)national statistical systems. To date, seven World KLEMS conferences have been held at locations around the world. In addition regional KLEMS conferences are held around the world at irregular intervals.
On March 27-28 2025, the 8th World KLEMS conference will be held in Tokyo. It will be organised by Tsutomu Miyagawa, Tomohiko Inui and Miho Takizawa (all at Gakushuin University). The conference will also be supported by Hitotsubashi University RIETI. A call for papers for this conference will follow soon. The World KLEMS conference will also be combined with a special conference on “Ageing and Economic Measurement” by the International Association for Research in Income and Wealth on March 24-25 in Tokyo (and a day excursion in between both events). Both conferences will be held at the International House of Japan in Tokyo. The website with more information on this event is now online.
The website of the 8th World KLEMS Conference is now opened. The Tokyo-Klems website provides the latest information for this event, including the preliminary program, registration, and additional information.
