Workshop ESHET-UCLM - Deadline Extension

Workshop ESHET-UCLM. Albacete (Spain) 21-22 January 2010.
“The Recession of 2008. Do Economists ever agree on Analysis and Prescriptions?”
The deadline for registration and submission of papers has been extended up to December 21th, 2009.
Call for Papers
The current financial and economic crisis has been stimulating some very important and interesting debates. On the one hand, there have been several attempts to compare it with previous crisis, especially with the Great Depression of 1929. On the other hand, the current crisis has also stimulated lively debates about the current state of economic analysis and its effectiveness in providing adequate accounts of the crisis.
Hence, the current crisis has not only highlighted the changing nature of our economic reality, but also the usefulness of taking a longer view when approaching ec! onomic analysis. The potential contribution of the history of economic ideas seems to be extremely relevant on both accounts.
This Workshop is aimed at analyzing the current financial and economic crisis from a history of economic thought perspective. The papers presented may offer an overview of the crisis or focus on specific issues. They may refer to the global economy or to a single region or country. The may dig on the causes, the consequences or policy recommendations.
We aim to publish a book gathering together the 10 best papers. Apart form the six papers presented at plenary sessions, the Committee will select four additional papers among those discussed in parallel sessions. Edward Elgar Publishing has been approached and has indicated a strong interest in publishing the conference volume.
There are no registration fees for the Workshop. ESHET and UCLM will provide three grants (of 350 euros each) to applicants who don’t have any other source of finance and present good papers.
