From the Editor
This is the season for
Call for Papers for the Fall Winter Conference Season. Note that there
are Calls for Papers from EAEPE, ASE, AFEE, and URPE. All these
associations welcome papers from all kinds of heterodox economists. Also
note the AFEE Summer School and the STOREP Summer School with its
emphasis on the historical roots of heterodox economics. These summer
schools are open to all graduate students and even newly minted PhDs.
Next week I am off to Ireland to do some work and to give a couple of
papers, including one at NUI-Galway and a second at Trinity College
Dublin on “Economic Sociology vs. Heterodox Economics” to a sociology
department. This is a new experience for me so it should be quite
interesting since I am going to suggest that all those working in
economic sociology should become heterodox economists. Whether I get out
of Dublin alive or not remains to be seen.

‘DEVELOPMENTS IN ECONOMIC THEORY
AND POLICY’
July, 7-8, 2005
Bilbao (Spain)
The Department of Applied Economics V of the University of the Basque
Country (Spain) and the Center for Economic and Public Policy of the
University of Cambridge (United Kingdom) are organizing the
International Conference “Developments in Economic Theory and Policy”.
The Conference will be held in Bilbao (Spain), from 7th to 8th of July
2004, at the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of the
Basque Country.
Papers are invited on all areas of economics. Papers must be written in
English. Accepted papers will be grouped in sessions. Every session will
comprise three papers.
Suggestions for ‘Organized Sessions’ are also welcomed. An organized
session is one that has been constructed in its entirety by a session
organizer and submitted to the Conference Organizer as a complete
package (title of the session, papers and session chair).
The final deadline to submit papers and ‘organized sessions’ is 31st May
2005. The Conference Committee will review and select papers and
sessions submitted for the Conference. Acceptance letters will be sent
out by e-mail by 10th June 2005.
For more information, you can get in touch with Jesus Ferreiro (ebpfeapj@bs.ehu.es)
or with Carlos Rodriguez (ebprogoc@bs.ehu.es), or visit the web page of
the Conference: www.eventia.org/developments

European Association for
Evolutionary Political Economy (EAEPE) 2005 Conference 10-12 November
2005 Bremen, Germany
Institutional History of Economics Research Area
EAEPE's Institutional History of Economics Research Area invites paper
proposals that contribute to one of its following seven theoretical
perspectives:
(1) The approach to analysis is based on an evaluation of relevant
tendencies and linkages in actual economics - instead of a methodology
that sanctifies fictions and diverts attention from the difficult task
of analyzing the practice and culture of economics.
(2) The analysis is open-ended and interdisciplinary in that it draws
upon relevant material in psychology, anthropology, politics, and
history - instead of a definition of history of economics in terms of a
rigid method that is applied indiscriminately to a wide variety of
economic approaches.
(3) The conception of economics is of a cumulative and evolutionary
process unfolding in historical time in which economists are faced with
chronic information problems and radical uncertainty about the future -
instead of approaches to theorizing that focus exclusively on the
product of this process.
(4) The concern is to address and encompass the interactive, social
process through which economics is formed and changed - instead of a
theoretical framework that takes economists and their interests as
given.
(5) It is appropriate to regard economics itself as a social
institution, necessarily supported by a network of other social
institutions - instead of an orientation that takes economics itself as
an ideal or natural order and as a mere aggregation of individual
economists.
(6) It is evaluated how the socio-economic system is embedded in a
complex ecological and environmental system - instead of a widespread
tendency to ignore ecological and environmental considerations or
consequences in the history of economics.
(7) The inquiry seeks to contribute not only to history of economics but
also to economics - instead of an orthodox outlook that ignores the
possibility of such cross-fertilization.
Preference will be given to original accounts, based on detailed
archival or other research, aimed at yielding rich, sophisticated,
understandings. Hence, papers that "do it" instead of those that "talk
about doing it" are favored.
To participate, please submit a proposal containing 600-1000 words and
indicating clearly the sense in which the paper contributes to one of
the theoretical perspectives of the research area.
The deadline for the submission of paper proposals is 15 APRIL 2005.
Notice of acceptance or rejection will be sent on or before 15 MAY 2005.
Completed papers are due on 31 AUGUST 2005.
All proposals and requests for information should be sent to:

THEME: Understanding
Living Standards
The year 2006 marks the 100th anniversary of Monsignor John A. Ryan’s
publication of A Living Wage: Its Ethical and Economic Aspects. Social
economists such as Ryan have long fought for a decent standard of
living, through paid work and welfare state supplements. Though best
known for his advocacy of a living wage, Ryan has also argued for higher
minimum wages, employee participation at work, reduced work hours, full
employment policy, improved race relations, and other aspects of
socioeconomic reform. The theme of papers for the 2006 meetings will be
how economies across the globe come to understand what constitutes a
living and how we can improve living standards, including balancing paid
work with family life and civic responsibility. Possible sessions could
include:
•An evaluation of the work of John A. Ryan and other social economists
who address living standards
•Improved quantitative and qualitative measures of socioeconomic status
and well-being
•The role of the public and private sectors in improving living
standards
•Policy proposals to reduce work time, improve earnings, reduce
inequality and discrimination, provide food and health security, enrich
work life, alleviate underemployment, reconcile work and family, etc.
There will be an opening plenary session, seven other sessions, and a
Presidential Address at the ASE breakfast by David George. Both members
and nonmembers of the Association for Social Economics are invited to
submit proposals. Also, anyone willing and able to organize a full
session with three or four papers and discussants on an appropriate
topic is encouraged to submit such a session for consideration.
A selection of papers presented at the sessions will be published in a
forthcoming issue of the Forum for Social Economics. To be eligible for
consideration, papers must be limited to 3,250 words of text with no
more than three pages of endnotes and references. Three hard copies and
one electronic copy of the final draft of the paper must be submitted to
the Forum editor by January 20, 2006. Each paper will be sent to two
referees.
Proposal Submission: A one-page abstract (including name, postal and
e-mail address) should be submitted before the deadline of May 2, 2005.
It is preferred that abstracts be sent by e-mail to Deb.Figart@stockton.edu.

Association for Evolutionary

Annual Meeting, Boston, Massachusetts, USA, January 5-8, 2006
AFEE invites proposals for individual papers and complete panels at the
above AFEE sessions. The overriding theme of the AFEE sessions will be:
“Theoretical Frontiers of Institutional and Evolutionary Economics”.
Preference will be given to papers and panels that address one or more
of the following issues:
(1)Cutting-edge theoretical developments relevant to institutional and
evolutionary economics in the twenty-first century.
(2)The nature and identity of institutional and evolutionary economics
and the elucidation of its key concepts.
(3)The empirical testing or practical application of institutional and
evolutionary approaches.
(4)The relevance to institutional and evolutionary economics of insights
from other approaches that may distinguish themselves – in label or
substance – from the original institutional economics, such as from
mainstream economics, the new institutional economics, social economics,
socio-economics, feminist economics, Schumpeterian evolutionary
economics, and sociology.
Proposals from any perspective are welcomed; particularly those that
enhance dialogue and promote theoretical synergies. Ideally at some
stage each paper should (at least briefly) address one or more of the
theoretical traditions fostered within AFEE, emanating from the works of
Veblen, Commons, Mitchell, Ayres, Myrdal and others.
The deadline for submission of proposals for papers and sessions is
March 14, 2005. It is hoped to inform authors whether their proposals
for papers have been accepted by the end of April. If the program chair
has not acknowledged the 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 the papers to be presented (see below).
Constraints imposed by the Allied Social Sciences 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 2006 Journal of Economic Issues, your paper must
not exceed 2,850 words of text. The deadline for submission to the
editor for consideration for the June issue of JEI is December 1, 2005.
JEI submission details will be provided to authors whose proposals are
accepted for the conference.
Authors have the option of submitting longer papers to alternative
journals, such as the newly-founded Journal of Institutional Economics,
published by Cambridge University Press.
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 email by March 14,
2005 to g.m.hodgson@herts.ac.uk Please include the following information
for each paper 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 100-300 words

Union for Radical Political
Economists
Boston, Massachusetts January 5-8, 2006
URPE invites proposals for individual papers and complete sessions for
the URPE at ASSA annual meeting. URPE welcomes proposals on radical
political economic theory and applied analysis from a wide variety of
theoretical traditions.
The deadline for proposed papers and sessions is May 1, 2005.
Proposals for complete sessions should include the session title, a
brief description of each paper, and the names, institutional
affiliations, and email addresses of the chair, discussants, and
presenters. Proposals for sessions should contain four papers. If you
are proposing a complete session, please arrange to have discussants for
your papers and a chair for your session. As the organizer of this
session, you are responsible for conveying administrative information to
session members, including confirmation that the session has been
accepted, the time and location, and deadlines.
Proposals for individual papers should include the title, the abstract,
and the author's name, institutional affiliation, and email. Individuals
whose papers are accepted may also be expected to serve as a discussant
for a different paper at the meetings. If you list the areas you prefer
to discuss, all attempts will be made to match your preferences.
Individual papers that are accepted will be assigned to sessions and
each session will have an assigned organizer. It is the organizer's job
to convey administrative information to session members, including
confirmation that the session has been accepted, the time and location,
and deadlines. URPE has no paid ASSA staff, so those presenting papers
must share the burden of organizing.
We regret that high quality individual papers may be turned down due to
the inability to place them in a session with papers with similar
themes. For this reason, we strongly encourage proposals for full
sessions. The number of sessions we can accept is limited by ASSA, and
we regret that high quality sessions may be turned down as well.
Please note that the date, time, and location of sessions is assigned by
ASSA, not URPE. You should receive word from URPE that your
paper/session was accepted by mid-June. ASSA will not assign dates and
times until much later in the summer.
Please note that at least one of the authors of any paper must be a
member of URPE. Contact urpe@labornet.org or 413-577-0806 for membership
information. We will confirm membership for accepted proposals.
A completed copy of the Program Registration Form (see
attached) is required with your submission. Submissions will NOT BE
ACCEPTED BY EMAIL. Only applications received by the May 1 deadline will
be considered.
If you have any questions, please contact one of the URPE at ASSA

Free Workshop on Quantitative
Methods in e-Social Science
6th April, 2005-02-16
University of Lancaster
As part of the JISC/ESRC Awareness Raising and Training programme,
Lancaster University's Centre for e-Science is holding an Agenda Setting
Workshop (ASW) on "Quantitative Methods in e-Social Science" at
Lancaster University on 6th April 2005. By bringing together social
scientists, computational scientists and other interested parties the
workshop will seek to explore what limitations and restrictions are
currently experienced by quantitative e-social scientists.
It is hoped to establish a collective agenda, so that activities can be
co-ordinated to reduce duplication, provide pressure groups and support
members of the e-social science community as required.
Speakers include :
Dr Rob Allan, CCLRC Daresbury who will be talking about access to
resources on the Grid covering both user interfaces and
resources/services such as the NGS and data services
Dr Khurshid Ahmad, Professor of Artificial Intelligence, Department of
Computing, University of Surrey who will be presenting results of work
in quantitative methods, especially in the analysis of non-stochastic
time varying data and the experience of his team based on the FINGRID
project where they created a grid of 24 nodes and analysed tera-bytes of
data.
The aim is to determine priorities for training/tools/services. There
are several activities to plug into, for instance the JISC have just
spent over £3.0M to help create Virtual Research Environments (VREs) and
the ESRC National Centre for e-Social Science (NCeSS) has just funded
two e-Social Science research nodes, (CQeSS - Collaboratory for
Quantitative e-Social Science and MOSES - Modelling and Simulation for
e-Social Science).
Complimentary accommodation will be available to delegates at Lancaster
House Hotel for the night of Wednesday 5th April with a welcome dinner
provided. The workshop will commence at 9.00 am on Wednesday 6th April
2005 at Lancaster University (Room A41 Faraday Building). The workshop
should be finished by 16:30. There is no cost for attending and expenses
will be reimbursed.
If you are unable to travel but are still interested in participating
you can join the workshop via Access Grid "U of Lancaster - eScience"
through
the Manchester Virtual Venue Server. The session will also be recorded
and accessible at a later date via the ReDReSS website http://redress.lancs.ac.uk/.
If you are interested in attending or wish to receive further
information please contact Judy Camp, Lancaster University, Centre for
e-Science 01524 592175 - j.camp1@lancaster.ac.uk or Audrienne Cutajar

Special Issue on Religion &
Political Economy
The American Review of Political Economy invites the submission of
articles and essays on the relationship between religion and political
economy for a special issue to be published in March 2006. This themed
issue will contain a number of contributions devoted to exploring this
lost connection between the economic sphere and the imperatives,or lack
thereof, of compassion, cooperation, and solidarity. In the face of the
methodological individualism of neoclassical economics and the alleged
merits of secularism–-this putative triumph of having separated the
spirit from earthly practice, and in particular economic practice—we
seem to have lost not only a structured understanding of how to organize
the economy in the name of mutual love, but also the notion of
compassion itself. Although papers may address any aspect of the
relationship between religion and political economy, particularly
welcome are those whose treatment is whether compassion has a chance of
being reintegrated in economic life at the dawn of the third millennium,
and if so, we ask how this is to be achieved practically. Articles that
approach this fundamental question from different religious standpoints
are especially welcome: ideally, the issue would feature a collection of
ideas from as many confessional perspectives as possible.
Manuscripts may be of any length. Please send as email attachments by
October 1st, 2005, to manuscripts@arpejournal.com and cc to Prof. Tom
Nitsch at tnitsch@creighton.edu.

Central Banking in the Modern
World: Alternative Perspectives
Edited by Marc Lavoie and Mario Seccareccia,
Professors of Economics, University of Ottawa, Canada
Monetarism is dead! Central bankers are all Wicksellians now! They
target low inflation rates, with no regard to monetary aggregates
whatsoever, by acting upon short-term real rates of interest.This is the
New Consensus in monetary economics, or simply the New Keynesian
Synthesis.Yet, this synthesis still hinges on variants of the long-run
vertical Phillips curve originally proposed by Milton Friedman, the
father of old-line monetarism.

Heterodox Announcements
Capacity Building and
Knowledge Networking on Gender, Macroeconomics and International
Economics
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We are writing to announce the third cycle of our program, Capacity
Building and Knowledge Networking on Gender, Macroeconomics and
International Economics. A central component of the program is the two-
week intensive course on Engendering Macroeconomics and International
Economics. The course will take place in Salt Lake City, University of
Utah in the United States from May 26- June 9, 2005. We are writing to
solicit your support in disseminating information to potential
applicants.
The program is being organized by the International Working Group on
Gender, Macroeconomics and International Economics (GEM- IWG), an
international network of economists which was formed in 1994. The
program has two objectives: first, to engage with fellow economists in
order to enhance capacity building for research, teaching, policy making
and advocacy on gender equitable approaches to macroeconomics,
international economics and globalization; and second, to increase
knowledge networking on these themes by strengthening the intellectual
links among practitioners in networks working on similar issues.
The program is intended for economists, including advanced graduate
students in economics, as well as more senior academics, researchers and
those in government. Up to 30 fellows will be admitted to the
program. The fellows of the program will be required, at a minimum, to
have completed two years of study in an economics Ph.D. program and have
passed their qualifying exams, or have its equivalent such as a
master's degree in economics. These requirements may be waived only
under exceptional circumstances. Funding is available for up to 25
fellows. Priority will be given to applicants from the global South and
transition economies.
Attached please find an application form as well as announcement on the
details of the program, which consists of a self-study module, the
intensive two-week course, and a public conference. We are certain that
among the people in your network, some will be good candidates for this
program. As the application deadline for the course is March 4, 2005, we
ask that you kindly let them know about it and that you forward this
announcement to organizations, research institutes and economics
departments of universities. If applicable, we also ask that you kindly
post this announcement in your organization's website or newsletter. You
can find further information on our program at our website
www.genderandmacro.org. including information on the first and second
cycles which were implemented during 2003 and 2004 respectively. If you
have any questions, please contact us at
genderandmacro@lists.csbs.utah.edu or cagatay@economics.utah.edu .
Thank you very much for your help with this initiative.
Sincerely,
Nilufer Cagatay

A query from Serap Kayatekin
Dear colleagues
I am interested in possible influences from International Relations
Theory to Development Economics in the period from the immediate
aftermath of World War II to the 1970s. Could anyone direct me to the
relevant sources? At this point I am interested in direct academic
influences.
Many thanks
