7TH INTERNATION POST KEYNESIAN WORKSHOP
SUMMER SCHOOL: June 17-28, 2002
CONFERENCE: June 29 - July 3, 2002
Call for Papers and Participants
Date: June 17 - July 03, 2002
Venue: University of Missouri of Kansas City, KC, USA
As students around the world have awakened to the empty promise
of mainstream economic curricula, the University of Missouri of
Kansas City, the Journal of Post Keynesian Economics, and the
Center for Full Employment and Price Stability have stepped up to
the challenge to offer a summer school program that provides an
alternative. The School will provide a rigorous training in both the
theoretical and applied aspects of Post Keynesian economic
theory. It will also deal with meaningful prescriptive policies relevant
to REAL WORLD phenomena and, in the spirit of pluralism, will
provide a forum for intellectual discourse that spans a variety of
disciplines. The program is being organized by Professors Paul
Davidson and Jan Kregel.
SUMMER SCHOOL
Admission is open to graduate students and recent Ph.D.'s. The
Center for Full Employment and Price Stability (C-FEPS) has
offered to provide a number of scholarships that will cover student
tuition fees and room and board. C-FEPS will also will make
available a number of travel stipends that will cover a portion of the
costs of travel to and from the workshop, if participants take
advantage of advance airfare bookings.
Summer School Application Procedure:
Applicants should send four copies of:
TheirCV,
1-2 page statement of what each student hopes to get out of the
Post Keynesian Summer School, and
3. a statement indicating familiarity with heterodox and Post
Keynesian economics.
These materials will serve as the application for both the summer
school and for the travel stipends. In addition, student will have the
opportunity to attend the Post Keynesian Conference, immediately
following the Summer School (at a reduced cost).
Please, send the materials to Pavlina R. Tcherneva at the address
below. A committee of representatives of the Journal of Post
Keynesian Economics and UMKC's Economics Department will
screen all applicants and notify participants no later than March 15,
2002.
SUMMER SCHOOL Application submission deadline: February 15,
2002
CONFERENCE
The Seventh International Post Keynesian Workshop will conclude
with a four day conference, organized by Professors Paul Davidson
and Jan Kregel. The format, theme, and topics will be similar to
those of the previous six Post Keynesian workshops held in
Knoxville. The organizing theme is Economic Policy of Financial
Markets. Possible topics for discussion include: Income
distribution: domestic and international Economic growth and
development, Pricing and industrial structure, Saving and
investment, Banking and monetary policy, Managing our natural
resources.
Papers will be presented by internationally renowned economists
and policy makers from the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia.
In addition, the diverse group of participants will include people from
the private sector, including various entrepreneurs and practitioners
interested in economic policy. Please consider presenting a paper
on any topic of your choice at the conference. Do not feel limited in
the choice of topic by the suggestions listed above.
How to submit a proposal:
Individual Paper Proposals. Paper proposals must be submitted no
later than January 31, 2002. If you have a copy of the paper,
please send it to us so we can make a decision about whether it
will be acceptable for the workshop. Abstracts can also be sent.
Please limit the size of the paper to no more than 25 pages, double
spaced. Those papers that have been accepted will be reproduced
for each participant, as long as a final version of the paper is
received by May 30, 2002. Papers longer than 25
pages, double spaced, will not be reproduced.
Complete Panel Proposals. Complete panel proposals are also
invited. Panel proposals should include 3-4 papers, 1-2
discussants and a panel chair. Panel organizers should send a
brief letter with the following information: 1) Title of panel; 2) List of
Participants; 3) E-mail addresses for all panel participants. Each
participant in the panel should also submit an individual proposal
with the information listed above. All proposals will be reviewed by
the program organizers Paul Davidson and Jan A. Kregel
In 2001 UMKC hosted the Association For Evolutionary Economics
summer school. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and we
are working to make the Post Keynesian Workshop in 2002 a
similarly successful event. We look forward to your participation
and are convinced that you will find UMKC and Kansas City (with
its world class jazz and R&B) quite an enjoyable place!

6TH ANNUAL ESHET CONFERENCE
Call for Papers and Participants
Date: March, 14-17, 2002
Venue: University of Crete, in Rethymno, Crete
The conference will have both a thematic part and an open part.
The theme will be:
The definition and causes of the wealth of nations are at the heart
of the origin of history of economic ideas. The search for the
causes of the rise, and sometimes fall, of nations has been a key
issue of eighteenth century economics and has inspired modern
growth theories. Capital accumulation and investment and more
recently human and social capital, R&D, externalities and
increasing returns are some of the recurring issues in modern
development theory. Development economics has largely evolved
from pure growth models to a wider analysis of social change.
Nowadays the analysis of the evolution of societies and
of their rise and decline include problems like population,
democracy, freedom, governance, location, which link up with other
social sciences: demography, geography, political science. History
of economic thought has been largely instrumental in producing
some of these changes. The evolution in the reading of Smith
since the mid nineteenth-sixties and the many episodes, from
Malthus to Marx, from the Austrian school to Schumpeter and the
neo-keynesian theories of growth, testify of the constant attention
of the economists to the problem of development as a wide ranging
social phenomenon. The thematic part will include invited
lectures.
Scholars who would like to attend and give a paper are asked to
send a proposal and an abstract of not more than 500 words and
full details of their affiliation by 30 September 2001 using preferably
email (or fax) to the Conference Address (see below). A scientific
committee will screen the proposals. Notice of acceptance will be
sent by 31 October 2001. The deadline for the submission of
papers is 15 January 2002. The abstracts, as revised by 15
January 2002, will be included in a booklet distributed to
all participants.

ASSOCIATION FOR INSTITUTIONAL THOUGHT ANNUAL
CONFERENCE
In conjuction with the 44th annual conf. of Western Social Science
Association [WSSA]
Call for Papers and Participants
Date: April 10-13, 2002
Venue: Albuquerque, New Mexico
Where do we go from here? What a difference a year or two can
make! At the beginning of 2000 the economy was booming, the
stock market was soaring, Alan Greenspan and others were
confident that the "new economy" was producing (or would soon
produce) an explosion of productivity, unemployment was very low,
and even wages were showing signs of improvement after 20 years
of stagnation. And now, well, things are a little different.
Unemployment is rising, the modest wage gains for low wage
workers are in doubt, there is no explosion of productivity, and no
one talks about the new economy any more.
The 2002 AFIT Conference will have as its primary theme: 1) the
current uncertainty and anxiety regarding the future prospects of
the U.S. economy; 2) economic policy options for the U.S.
economy; and 3) international influences and connections.
Proposals for papers and panels that address this theme will be
particularly encouraged. However, participants are welcome to
submit interesting proposals on any topic relevant to the tradition of
institutionalist economics.
We hope to continue the discussion on pedagogical issues. For
several years the AFIT conference has included a roundtable on
ideas, experiences, and materials helpful for incorporating
institutionalism in our teaching. Past participants in these
roundtables are encouraged to submit their materials for posting on
the AFIT web site.
Anyone interested in attending the AFIT Conference or in finding
out more about the organization may visit the AFIT web site at
<http://afit.cba.nau.edu>. Deadline for proposal submission:
December 1, 2001

MAY 2002
7th WORKSHOP ON ECONOMICS AND HETEROGENEOUS
INTERACTING AGENTS (WEHIA)
Call for Papers and Participants
Date: May 30-June 1, 2002
Venue: The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical
Physics Strada costiera 11, 34100 Trieste, Italy
website: http://www.ictp.trieste.it/
The economy is more and more frequently regarded as a complex
system of interacting agents. Recent developments of this
approach have focused on three main issues:
i) THE HETEROGENEITY OF THE AGENTS IN THE ECONOMY.
The representative agent model, while elegant, versatile, and widely
accepted, is unrealistic and it does not capture the variety in
economic behavior.
ii) THE WAYS IN WHICH AGENTS INTERACT. Powerful results
have been derived for market-mediated economic interactions, or
for strategic interactions in game-theoretic settings with few
agents. Many socio-economic issues call for intermediate
approaches where economic interactions are non-market, non-
strategic and distributed (in space-time). Actually, the network of
socio-economic interaction and its dynamics has become a
subjects of interest in its own.
iii) THE DYNAMIC PROCESS WHICH GOVERNS THE
EVOLUTION OF THE INDIVIDUAL. The classical model where
individual behavior arises as the optimal contingent plan of actions
of a deductive rational, perfectly informed utility maximizer agent is
more and more frequently replaced by models where agents learn
and adapt to their economic environment. This raises the issue of
understanding the collective dynamical properties of systems of
boundedly (inductively) rational interacting agents.
The 7th Workshop on Economics and Heterogeneous Interacting
Agents (WEHIA) offers a forum for presentation and discussion of
the latest results on these issues. Workshop topics include:
Interacting Agents: General Considerations, Aggregation of
heterogeneous agents, The Analysis of Cooperation, Bounded
Rationality, Interacting Particle Systems and Economics,
Percolation Theory and Economics, Learning in Economics,
Evolutionary Game Theory, Computational Methods in
Economics, Market Structure and its Emergence, Economic
Graphs and Network Analysis, Non-linear econometrics

2002 PARIS SEMINAR ON "THE LENDER OF LAST RESORT:
EXPERIMENTS, ANALYSES AND CONTROVERSIES"
Organised by the Center of History of Economic Analysis and
Representations (Universities of Paris 1 and Paris X), the LED-
EPEH (University of Paris VIII) and Forum (University of Paris X) in
association with "Les Cahiers d'Economie Politique"
Call for Papers and Participants
Date: September 23-24, 2002
Venue: Paris
The origin of the concept of the lender in last resort is to be found
in Thornton's works (1802). This author analysed the basic
elements of the policy of central banks in granting emergency
loans. Bagehot, who has often been presented as the inventor of
the theory of the lender in last resort in fact developed Thornton's
work . The classical doctrine of the lender in last resort for which
we are indebted to these authors justifies the need for such loans,
and expresses the normative principles on which they ought to be
based.
A debate on this doctrine went on until the 1930s, but it then fell
into neglect for half a century. In the 1980s, it resurfaced under the
joint influence of two factors: on the one hand, the reappearance of
recurring banking crises in a context of liberalisation of financial
systems, and on the other hand, the progress of microeconomics
of information applied to banking economics.
At the same time, the ways in which the lender in last resort can
intervene have become more diversified, and have also been
criticised both at national and international levels. The debate has
especially borne on the fact that central banks are often linked to
the lender in last resort. These observations call for a reflection on
the theoretical foundations of the concept of the lender in last
resort as formulated in Thornton's writings.
The bicentenary of Thornton's Paper Credit therefore provides an
opportunity to present papers on his works (from an history of
economic thought or economic history perspective), as well as to
contribute to current debates on the lender in last resort, both at a
national and an international level.

CONFERENCE ON THE HISTORY OF HETERODOX
ECONOMICS IN
THE 20TH CENTURY
Call for Papers and Participants
Date: October 3 -5, 2002
Venue:Linda Hall Library of Science, Engineering and
Technology, University of Missouri-Kansas City,
Kansas City, Missouri, USA
In the last 15 years, economists have started to distinguish
between the history of economics and history of economic theory--
that is, roughly, between the intellectual history and the social
history of economics. Consequently, there have been an
increasing number of books and articles on the history of
economics in various universities and the history of mainstream
economic associations. On the other hand, very
little has been written about the history of heterodox economics. In
fact most mainstream economists who work in the area of the
history of economics do not believe that such a history is at all
interesting. Rather they see heterodox economics as simply a
reaction to but still tied to neoclassical economics with no
independent life of its own. To suggest otherwise is to upset their
world view of economics and supremacy of neoclassical economic
theory. This conference aims to challenge this view by showing
that there is a separate history of heterodox economics.
Proposals on any aspect of the history of heterodox economics in
the 20th century are invited. By heterodox economics, we mean
Marxism, Institutionalism, Social Economics, Post Keynesian
Economics, Sraffian Economics, Feminist Economics, Georgist
Economics, Evolutionary Economics, Historical Economics, and
Austrian Economics. Suggested topics for papers include but are
not restricted to: 1. the history of college and university economic
departments vis-a-vis the teaching of heterodox economic theory.
2. history of heterodox academic and non-academic economic
journals. 3. history of heterodox economic associations and other
kinds of communities and groups of academic and non-academic
heterodox economists. 4. discrimination against the
hiring and retaining of heterodox economists at academic
institutions as her non-academic organizations. 5.
discrimination against the publishing of heterodox papers and
books. 6. the use of state power to silence heterodox economic
views and heterodox economists, such as McCarthyism in the
United States, military regimes in Latin America, and the
suppression of dissidents in Stalinist Eastern Europe and in China.
7. biographical histories of well-known and not-so-well-known
heterodox economists and their contributions towards building a
community of heterodox economists. 8. the teaching of Marxism,
Georgist Economics, and other heterodox economics to workers
and the general public at schools and institutes outside of colleges
and universities. 9. the role of historical events in promoting interest
in heterodox economics and the establishing communities and
groups of heterodox economics--such as the rise of the
New Left, Vietnam War, and the Great Depression.
Please send a 250 word abstract (either by e-mail or hard copy) to
both Fred Lee and John King. Deadline for submission: Friday, 7
December 2001; Notification: Friday, 11 January 2002. Conference
Fee: $120.00 (Includes lunches, tea/coffee/juice, and
conference dinner).

FIRST INTERNATIONAL CONFEDERATION OF ASSOCIATIONS
FOR PLURALISM IN ECONOMICS (ICAPE) CONFERENCE
THE FUTURE OF HETERODOX ECONOMICS
Call for Papers and Participants
Date: June 5-7, 2003
Venue: Linda Hall Library of Science, Engineering and
Technology, University of Missouri-Kansas City, Kansas City,
Missouri, USA
Founded in 1993, ICAPE is a consortium of 40 organizations
working cooperatively to foster pluralism in the analytical
perspectives, methods, policy discourse, and education of
professional economists. Now, almost ten years on, ICAPE is
sponsoring its first conference: on the future of heterodox
economics around the world.
This conference will afford unique opportunities for dialogue among
diverse schools of thought and across intellectual generations:
among our "elders" (senior scholars who have inspired the revival of
heterodox economics over the past 20-30 years), our "youth"
(innovative younger scholars, including those associated with the
Post-Autistic Economics movement and the authors of the open
letters issued recently from Cambridge University and the AFEE
Summer School), and many others in between. In all, the purpose
of this conference is to create new resources - energy, ideas,
debates, alliances, and projects - for the future of heterodox
economics, and indeed of economics itself, internationally.
We seek proposals offering fresh perspectives on heterodox
economic theory, economic policy, and economic pedagogy at the
graduate and undergraduate
levels. We especially encourage efforts to integrate heretofore separate
strands of thought, including (but not limited to) Austrian Economics, Black
Political Economy, Evolutionary Economics, Feminist Economics, Georgist
Economics, Historical Economics, Institutionalism, Marxism, Post Keynesian
Economics, Postmodern Economics, Postcolonial Economics, Social Economics, and
Sraffian Economics.
Please send proposals to Rob Garnett (adress below) (a) paper title and
250-word abstract, (b) author's name and mailing address, (c) author's ICAPE
