15th NTA Global Meeting
National Transfer Accounts and Policy: The 15th Global Meeting of the NTA Network, Bangkok, Thailand, March 10-13, 2025
NTA15 CALL FOR PAPERS
We are pleased to release the Call for Papers above, welcoming submissions for the 15th Global Meeting of the National Transfer Accounts project from project members and anyone whose work addresses issues around the generational economy. We also welcome participants who are not presenting work, but want to learn more about the NTA approach to understanding how population and the economy interact. Please note a few important items:
- The conference will be fully in person in Bangkok, Thailand. Speakers will be requested to post papers and slides (narrated if possible) so that those who cannot join in person may have access to presentations.
- Presentations on Day 1 of the conference (March 10) will focus on Thailand, immediate neighbors, and Asia, in the context of the global NTA research network.
- Days 2-4 (March 11-13) will consist of paper sessions, poster sessions, training workshops, and discussion sessions on topics of interest within the NTA network.
- Lunch and morning and afternoon coffee breaks will be provided each day. There is a gala dinner currently scheduled for Monday evening.
- The conference language is English, but there is a place in the registration form to request to present in other languages. We will hold non-English sessions if we receive enough requests.
- Information on arranging travel and booking hotel rooms will be provided soon.
Thank you in advance for your participation and enthusiasm in sustaining NTA research and the NTA community. We look forward to a fruitful global meeting. Please email questions to Gretchen Donehower.

Travel Support for Global NTA15 Bangkok Conference
We are pleased to announce that we have some funds to support travel to the Global NTA15 Bangkok Conference. We anticipate that we will only be able to support travel by participants who are members of the NTA network and authors or co-authors of papers being presented at the conference, one supported participant per paper. We typically can only fund one person per country, with preference given to lower-income country team members. The following criteria will be used in awarding travel grants:
- An abstract has been submitted for consideration
- Applicant is member of NTA Network
- Applicant is a citizen/resident of a low- or middle-income country
- Applicant is seeking or has secured partial travel support from other institutions
Our goal is to support as many people as possible and encourage all applicants to seek full or partial travel support from other sources. We would particularly encourage multi-person teams to pursue support from other sources.
Lodging, Local Arrangements, and Helpful Information
The conference will be held at the Centara Grand Hotel. We have a block of rooms reserved for our conference participants at a preferential rate. To make a reservation, please click below.
We will be adding information soon about other nearby hotels if participants would like other options. We will also be adding more information about the area around the conference venue and other helpful information for visiting Bangkok for our conference.
