 Call for Papers

Association for Heterodox Economics 8th Annual Conference 2006

Economics, Pluralism, and the Social Sciences, 14 – 16 July, 2006, London School of Economics

The Eighth Annual Conference of the Association for Heterodox Economics (AHE) will be held at the London School of Economics from 14th to 16th July 2006.

Last year’s highly successful AHE conference yielded a stimulating and original range of papers on pluralism in economics, in opposition to the currently non-pluralistic dominance of the neoclassical mainstream. A striking feature of the conference was the growing interdisciplinary character of the contributions which explored, generally but not exclusively from the standpoint of economics, the relation between economics and other branches of the social sciences. The Eighth Annual Conference will build on this success.

The conference will have both a thematic part and an open part. The AHE is happy to consider papers of both types; however, priority will be given to papers addressing the conference theme, “Economics, Pluralism and the Social Sciences”. Papers are particularly encouraged on topics dealing with economics and its relation to the social sciences as a whole and with respect to its various branches, such as anthropology, development studies, gender and race studies, history, literary studies, management, philosophy, politics, psychology, and sociology, from both economists and non-economists and from a plurality of perspectives.

We encourage the submission of abstracts of papers, or proposals for a session or stream of sessions, which

• Apply heterodox economic thought to policy-related issues;
• Examine any aspect of economic theory from the standpoint of another discipline or disciplines in the social sciences or the humanities;
• Critically assess the existing or potential relation, deleterious or positive, between economics and other branches of the social sciences;
• Examine issues or deploy approaches neglected by current economic orthodoxy;
• Critically examine either neoclassical economic orthodoxy, or – in the spirit of pluralism – its heterodox critics;
• Assess the contribution of one or more heterodox approaches towards opening up economics;
• Make a contribution to the scholarship of teaching and learning in economics from a heterodox or pluralist perspective.

The AHE is in process of publishing a selection of the best papers presented at this year’s conference in a special volume of the book series Advances in Heterodox Economics, edited by Professor Frederic S. Lee. We propose to publish a similar volume after the 2006 conference.

Deadline for submission:

Proposals for single papers: please send an abstract of up to 500 words by email only to the local organiser, Alan Freeman (afreeman@iwgvt.org ), AND the AHE coordinator, Andrew Mearman (andrew.mearman@uwe.ac.uk),by 17 March 2006. Text, HTML, Word and PDF format email attachments are acceptable.
Proposals for sessions and streams: please indicate exactly what you are proposing, giving the names and email addresses of the proposed speakers, and attaching the abstracts (of not more than 500 words each) for their papers. Send by email to Alan Freeman and Andrew Mearman, as above, by 17 March 2006.
You will be notified of acceptance or rejection of your proposal by 7 April 2006.
Those whose abstracts have been accepted must send their full paper and completed registration to be received by 2 June 2006.

Parallel sessions will be 90 minutes long and will consist of two papers. Sessions may have a discussant for each paper. The conference is to be conducted in English. All abstracts will be considered by the AHE Committee.

The Commons Conference

An Academic-Community Event on Privatization and the Public Domain
April 28--30, 2006
University of Victoria, BC

A committee of students, researchers, and community members are organizing an interdisciplinary conference on contemporary definitions of "the commons" to be held at UVic the weekend of April 28-30th, 2006.

The concept of the commons derives from the system of collective ownership of pastureland in England, which thrived until a series of enclosure acts divided them in the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Enclosure acts transformed society -displacing labourers, forcing peasants into the market society, providing a new economic base for trade, and ecologically disrupting a diverse arrangement of cultivation, grazing, and wild lands.

The idea of the commons was revived in the 1960s and 70s by the burgeoning environmental movement. It usefully provided a way to express awareness that nature does not respect property lines. New forms of political and economic organization were needed to address the perils of environmental destruction and social alienation. In recent years, advocates of a digital or electronic commons have taken up the term "commons," as well. For example, databases offering open access to medical or scholarly research at public institutions belong "in common" ownership to citizens. However, intellectual property erects new fences around these collective agreements.

In the paths and circuits between these commons - in physical and digital space - lie important, under-theorized ideas about the meaning of the public, collectivity, and communal life that could provide powerful antidotes to the steady encroachments of the private sector into the public domain. This conference seeks to explore these spaces.

Our keynote speaker will be Dr. George Caffentzis, Chair of Philosophy at the University of Southern Maine and outspoken activist on issues of imperialism and war. Caffentzis' critical work exposes the co-optation of "commons" language and activism by those angling to replace neo-liberalism with yet another hegemonic ideology. Caffentzis submits that the critical position to taking up the commons would be that which calls into question the global circulations of capital and power. Caffentzis will be speaking on the evening of Friday, April 28th in an open event that is free to the public.

Saturday will feature presentations by people from across the country: university faculty, graduate students, and community activists. Speakers will present imaginative and practical talks on issues around water privatization, cities, indigenous nationalism, the pharmaceutical industry, open-source software, libraries, immigration, material and immaterial property, seed saving, the role of the public intellectual, governance, art as engagement, the privatization of democratic values and social movements, and other relevant topics. On Sunday the 30th there will be a day of facilitated workshops meant to serve as a space for deeper discussion and strategy. These discussions will focus on conference-participant reflections and will raise questions about how to build and sustain interdisciplinary networks.

The focus of the papers should be on Canadian issues and the role of Canada abroad. Some questions people are invited to address are: Who does/does not occupy a place in the physical and digital commons? What is the role of the state in the renewed commons? How can media become a two-way flow through a commons? Can there be such a thing as quotation marks in art? What other models of ownership are available to oppose commodification? What are the politics of the commons?

We are looking for papers that theorize ideas of "the commons" that respond to, resist or subvert forms of privatizations. Papers should bring to light aspects of social and political control exercised through these privatizations. Panels will be organized to reflect overlap between issues identified in respective proposals. Each presentation should be 15 - 20 minutes long.
The deadline for submissions is March 10th, 2006. Please email 250 - 300 word abstracts to shiri@forumonpublicdomain.ca.

This conference is also an event. Please feel welcome to attend. A website is currently being designed for the conference and will be on-line soon. Links will be posted from the VIPIRG and Forum websites (www.forumonpublicdomain.ca  or www.vipirg.ca ). Watch for registration details.

The domestic and transnational expansion of the private sector over the last decades is a phenomenon that deserves study. Deregulation and liberalized financial processes have induced a new concentration and centralization of economic power in many countries and globally. Merger movements have produced new organizational structures and challenges for developing countries. The objective of this panel is to discover how deregulation and liberalization processes have worked around the world in the different countries.

AFEE invites proposals for individual papers and complete panels for the 2007 AFEE conference. The theme of the AFEE program will be:

Contributions of Institutional Economics to Public Policy Debates: Past and Present

Institutional economics scholars have been involved for decades in research that concerns labor, immigration, regulation of industry, social security, international trade and finance, economic development, and much more. Most of these issues are of continuing interest along with more recent policy debates such as the environment, energy, women’s role in the economy, health care, private pensions and economies in transition.

These papers must be grounded in and contribute to the literature of Original Institutional Economics in the tradition of Commons, Veblen, Mitchell, Kapp, Myrdal, Polyani, etc.

Proposals on institutional/evolutionary theory and methodology will be considered. Indeed, papers that relate investigations of policy issues to the development of institutional/evolutionary theory will be most welcome.

The deadline for submission of proposals for papers and sessions is March 31, 2006. I will try to inform authors whether their proposals have been accepted by April 30, 2006. If the program chair has not acknowledged receipt of your paper or panel proposal within two weeks, please contact the program chair.

Proposals for panels may contain up to five papers, and must include relevant details of all papers to be presented (see below). Constraints imposed by the Allied Social Science Association severely limit the number of sessions allocated to AFEE. AFEE deeply regrets that it will be necessary to turn down many good proposals.

In considering your topic and preparing your abstract, please keep in mind that you will have no more than twenty minutes to present your paper. Furthermore, if you wish your paper to be considered for publication in the June 2007 Journal of Economic Issues, the text of your paper cannot exceed 2,850 words. You will be allowed two pages of references and two pages of tables, or figures. The deadline for submission for the June JEI is December 5, 2006. JEI submission details will be provided to authors whose proposals are accepted for the conference.

At least one of the authors of any paper must be a member of AFEE. Contact afee@bucknell.edu for membership information.

Proposals for papers or panels must be submitted by March 31, 2006 to atkinson@unr.nevada.edu . The following information must be submitted:

a- Name(s) of author(s)
b- Professional affiliation(s)
c- Email address of corresponding author
d- Mailing address of corresponding author
e- Title of proposed paper
f- Abstract of 100 to 200 words
g- Your willingness to serve as a discussant or session chair (specify field)

KEYNES LECTURE IN ECONOMICS
How and Why Does Fairness Matter?
Professor K G Binmore , CBE, FBA, University College London
Economists are commonly thought to believe that the operation of the free market should trump any considerations of social justice. This view is sustainable only if one subscribes to the naive view that real markets and other social systems only have one equilibrium. However, game theory shows that realistic social systems usually have many equilibria. It is therefore not enough to argue that people will strive to improve their individual welfare. Their behaviour needs to be coordinated so that they all end up playing the same equilibrium. I argue that fairness can be explained as one of nature's answers to such coordination problems. That is to say, fairness evolved as an equilibrium selection device. This hypothesis leads to a theory of the structure of the fairness norms that we use in solving the coordination problems of everyday life. The theory allows a new interpretation of John Rawls' famous Theory of Justice that reconciles the seemingly hostile approaches of egalitarians and utilitarians.

Empire, Resistance, and the War in Iraq

A Conference for Historians and Activists University of Texas, Austin February 17-19, 2006

http://www.historiansagainstwar.org/hawconf/

We invite you to attend the first scholarly conference in the U.S. to examine the origins of and opposition to the war in Iraq in historical perspective. Speakers will examine the history of resistance to U.S. empire, the history of international peace and justice movements, the relation of gender to imperialism and war, and the defense of civil liberties and democratic institutions in wartime. In addition, speakers will discuss the Iraq war in long-term historical context.
We encourage audience participation, and each session includes questions, answers, and discussion.

On Sunday a diverse panel will present their thoughts on what historians and activists can learn from each other. Following their presentations, we will have an open discussion on what we as historians and activists can do on our campuses, in our communities, and in this country to contribute to and build anti-war consciousness and activity.

Click here for detailed schedule.

Description:

The Georgetown University Law Center-Harvard University Law School Conference on Social and Economic Inequality: The Role of Law, Markets and Social Structure is designed to further stimulate ongoing integration of economics and sociology, as well as law and sociology to address the problems of persistent economic and social inequality. The conference and the associated book arising from it are intended to prepare the way for a second generation of interdisciplinary work at the crossroads of three disciplines. We seek to facilitate exploration of the conceptual intersections of law, economics, and sociology to address problems of persistent structural economic and social inequality.



The participation of legal scholars, who are concerned with challenging the legal frameworks that undergird persistently unequal distribution of material resources, is significant. There is a growing interest among legal scholars in collaborative interdisciplinary research across a broad range of subject areas. Our focus on economic and social inequality seeks to contribute new perspectives on one of the nation's most intractable dilemmas.

International Society for Ecological Economics, January 17, 2006

It is a pleasure to send this message to all members of the International Society for Ecological Economics across the world and in all the regional societies, at the beginning of 2006. The ISEE started in 1989. Our presidents have been Bob Costanza, Dick Norgaard, John Proops, Charles Perrings, and now myself.
Our main activity during this year will be the Ninth Biennial Conference that will take place in New Delhi (Habitat Centre) from the 15th to 19th December 2006, organized by the INSEE. You can follow the developing programme with plenaries, symposia, invited panels in the webpage www.isee2006.com . Please come to Delhi for the conference if you can, and notice that the deadline for abstracts of papers and posters is 31 July 2006. It will be a great conference.
The elections for the president (2008-09) and four members (2006-07) of the Board of the Society took place in December 2005. Perhaps because of the new voting system, the number of votes was less than in 2003. As you must know already because the elections results were announced before the end of the year, Peter May (from Brazil) was elected president of ISEE. The four elected members of the Board are Wendy Proctor (Australia, she was already a member of the Board), John Gowdy (USA), Luciana Togeiro de Almeida (Brasil) and Joan Roughgarden (USA). Pushpam Kumar (India) has kindly agreed to stay as member of the Board, he is very much involved in the ISEE06 conference (pk@iegindia.org). Our gratitude should go and indeed it goes to all candidates, especially to Mohan Munasinghe. And certainly to John Proops and Charles Perrings, past presidents. The new Board will start working soon, once we agree on the tasks they would like to do and need to be done.
Under Charles Perrings' presidency, 2004-05, some very good things happened. I shall mention only two of them. The administration has been changed, and it is now in the capable hands of Marsha Kopan, who is doing her best to answer members' questions, to get renewals for 2006, and a consolidated current members' list. She may be reached at secretariat@ecoeco.org, or at other addresses you will find in the webpage www.ecoeco.org. A good contract with Elsevier, which publishes our journal "Ecological Economics", was signed. The finances of ISEE are quite solid. We shall open up the possibility of having institutional members/sponsors (environmental organizations, government agencies, companies that agree with our goals). The society's webpage and newsletter will be brought out during 2006 by Jo Chamberlain, jochamber1@aol.com.
Relations with the regional societies will be one main priority. This includes economic relations and support, as well as setting common objectives and tasks. Much of what happens in ecological economics takes place because we have USSEE, CANSEE, Eco- Eco (Brazil), the Argentina-Uruguay society and Redibec, the ESEE in the European Union, ANZSEE, INSEE, the African society, the Russian society. With the regional presidents (as with the Board) we shall set up a regular system of communication by email and also by telephone conferences (which nowadays are cheap).
The journal "Ecological Economics", edited by Cutler Cleveland, is doing well. Many of you read it, and publish articles in it. It is, I feel, our main product as ecological economists. But new books, new doctoral programmes and doctoral theses, new regular courses and summer schools, and even a web-based Encyclopedia, possibly new journals, yearbooks, annual reviews are being or will be produced around the world on ecological economics, and we must help promote them. One priority will be therefore the difusion of ecological economics. This includes the establishment of closer contacts with Chinese ecological economists, for which we ask members' help.
Finally, a personal opinion on prizes. Many of you know that ISEE gives every two years a Kenneth Boulding prize. This is in the hands of a committee that is and should be independent of the presidency of ISEE. I would very much like to have also (if the Board agrees) a Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen prize for ecological economists under 40. We might give the first one in Delhi in December 06. And talking about prizes, if the Board agrees, I believe that ISEE should strongly campaign to get Nobel Prizes for ecological economists. To start with, those who already in the late 1960s were writing ecological economics articles in the American Economic Review, the Journal of Political Economy, and who are still very active: R.U. Ayres, H. Daly...
On this note, I greet all of you, remaining at your service as president of ISEE for 2006 and 2007. I shall use two email addresses, my usual one, joan.martinez.alier@uab.es, and also joanmartinezalier@yahoo.es . You may also conact me through president@ecoeco.org 
Sincerely,

Joan Martinez Alier, President
International Society for Ecological Economics

Pension Reform and Economic Theory: A Non-Orthodox Approach

Sergio Cesaratto (professor of Economics, Dipartimento di Economia politica, Università di Siena)

Edward Elgar, Cheltenham (UK) and Northampton (US), 2006, pp. 365.

The book is a contribution to the present debate on pension reforms in the light of the existence of rival economic theories. In most of the book the discussion will be mainly theoretical, but empirical references will be episodically provided as examples for clarification and to illustrate the practical relevance of the analytical propositions. Chapters 1 and 2 focus on PAYG, discussing its controversial nature and the reforms claiming to improve its sustainability. Chapters 3, 4 and 5 focus on the Fully Funded (FF) scheme, examining its nature and the proposals to replace PAYG with it. In particular, Chapter 3 explains the marginalist roots of the dominant view. The conventional notion of capital stock as a fund of consumption goods whose consumption is transferred into the future coincides with the conventional view of the FF scheme as a device to postpone consumption from the active age into retirement. Chapter 4 discusses the ‘transition problem’ related to the transition from PAYG to FF schemes. Chapter 5 examines the controversy over the ‘trust fund’ accumulated by the US Social Security. Chapters 6 and 7 show, in a more systematic way, the relevance of the non-conventional approach to the debate on pensions contributing, at the same time, to the integration of a welfare state theory in non-orthodox theory. More specifically, Chapter 6 presents the question of pensions in the perspective of Keynes’s theory of effective demand, later reinforced by Sraffa’s critique of traditional capital theory. Chapter 7 widens the perspective of the book by proposing a classical approach to the welfare state linking the non-conventional interpretations of PAYG examined in Chapters 1 and 2 to the classical theory of distribution. Finally, Chapter 8 discusses current and projected demographic developments. The ageing process is seen as a result of a process of stabilization of the world population. In the light of the classical and Kaleckian approach to the theory of distribution the main threat of the ageing process is found in the difficulty of capitalism to live with a shrinking industrial reserve army. Chapter 8 also poses the issue of the sustainability of PAYG as an economic question, and thus treatable by economic policies and appropriate changes in income distribution, and not as an ineluctable demographic quandary.

The Physical Foundation of Economics by Jing Chen

All human activities, including mental activities, are governed by physical laws and are essentially thermodynamic processes. However, current economic theories are not established on these foundations. This pioneering book seeks to develop an analytical theory of economics on the foundation of thermodynamic laws. A unified understanding of economic and social phenomena is presented, an understanding that is much simpler than what mainstream economic theory has to offer. Its aim is to revolutionize thinking in economics and transform social sciences into an integral part of the physical and biological sciences.

Review of the Book

This is an extremely interesting book that attempts to provide an entirely new foundation for economic theory. It is easy to see why the author says in the preface that he has had a hard time remaining employed (he is now an assistant professor at the University of Northern British Columbia).

His basic idea is that there are rules based on thermodynamic processes that underly economic theories. This leads him to some very interesting observations. For instance agriculture produces more grain than does gathering. But the costs of producing that grain, preparing the fields, planting, harvesting, storing are much higher. The resulting stored grain is something that is worth stealing by an outsider, so a military is necessary. Or another comment on how open trade (NAFTA) affects the industrial and the rural countries.

This is a book that professional economists are going to treat with complete disdain. It may turn out to be a theory that gets thrown away, or it could be a Nobel winner sometime in the future. At any rate, it is a fascinating read that helps me, (not an economist) make a little more sense out of the world.

SUSTAINABLE CONSUMER SERVICES
Business Solutions for Household Markets
By Minna Halme and others

Sustainable consumer services for household markets - i.e. services that are offered to a consumer at the premises such as home delivery of organic food, appliance leasing, mobile laundry services or car pool schemes - are viewed by many as the way forward in reducing material consumption while turning a profit. Yet until now there has been little information to guide the development of such business models and practices and to develop ways to make service-based consumption models more attractive to consumers than object-ownership-based models.

The New Economy and Macroeconomic Stability

The New Economy and Macroeconomic Stability: A neo-modern perspective drawing on complexity theory and Keynesian economics,
Teodoro Dario Togati, London: Routledge, 2006.

The past decade has seen many leading economies, especially the US, undergo profound structural transformations. Departing from the standard theories employed to explain this phenomenon, here author Togati provides the first broad analysis of the New Economy. In this book, the first to look at the new economy from a post-Keynesian / neo-modern perspective, he focuses on its macroeconomic implications, presenting a more balanced view than that provided by orthodox neoclassical analysis, and studying the interaction of key variables such as:

* information technology
* globalization
* the increasing significance of intangibles and financial markets.

This ground-breaking book utilizes a neo-modern perspective drawing on complexity theory to advance the study of the stability and dynamic behaviour of economic systems. Togati utilizes the Calvino labels to identify new empirical evidence, and examines the implications for global stability based on New Classical Macroeconomics and Keynesian theory.

The analysis developed in this book has important practical and policy implications for the New Economy, making this book essential reading for students, academics and practitioners in the field.

Association for Georgist Studies

The Association for Georgist Studies is an organization of scholars and other writers in the social sciences, founded in 2005. We seek to advance knowledge of the ideas expounded by Henry George and others of like mind. George attributed the persistence of poverty in the midst of economic growth to concentrated ownership, misallocation, and overpricing of land, broadly defined. He attributed depressions to overpricing carried to extremes during land booms. As a remedy he advocated shifting all taxes from labor and capital onto land. (See Henry George 100 Years Later.)

Our mission is to:

- Identify scholars who study these and related issues raised by George.
- Engage these scholars in creating a modern literature on the issues.
- Facilitate communication and collaboration among them.
- Identify and address flaws and omissions in George's work.
- Link the Georgist viewpoint to current concerns about tax reform, social justice, wealth and income inequality, oil monopoly, broadcast monopoly, world trade, the environment, resource scarcity, immigration, outsourcing, major cycles and bubbles like the current land boom, renewing cities and industries, containing and reversing urban sprawl, promoting domestic saving and investing, declining real wage rates and job opportunities, the feared decline of western civilization, and
- Engage opinion-leaders in academic and professional disciplines, journalism and social reform movements in exploring the Georgist insight into their issues.

We seek to explore a common set of problems from multiple disciplinary perspectives.

We will:
- organize panels at professional meetings
- organize conferences with publication of proceedings
- publish current articles on our website and
- Create an online database of articles or links to relevant earlier publications.

Corporations in Context
GDAE announces new web page on “Corporations in Context”

In the course of developing a deeper understanding of today’s economic realities, researchers at the Global Development And Environment Institute have generated a number of writings that deal with the role and the nature of corporations. Most recently GDAE researchers have created a case study about the areas where markets cannot be counted on to ensure that business behavior will accord with social or environmental sustainability. The case is now included on the Aspen Institute’s website, CasePlace.org, under the title "Market Failures: Corporate Governance and Accountability.” Recognizing that markets lead to efficiency and the social good only under certain conditions, this collection describes seven causes of market failure and provides cases and readings related to each.

GDAE’s new web page, Corporations in Context, provides links and information on Books, Articles and Reports, and Educational Materials. A link to our new collection on “Market Failures,” and to the background essay on "The Limitations of Markets" by GDAE Co-director Neva Goodwin, may be found at http://www.ase.tufts.edu/gdae/publications/corporations.html#markets
