Summer School “The Evolution of the Economic Theory of Decision-Making”, deadline approaching

Dear All,

The deadline for submissions to the 20th summer school on the history of economic thought, economic philosophy and economic history – May 15, 2017 – is approaching.

The summer school will take place in Como, Italy, from August 28 to September 1, 2017. The topic is The Evolution of the Economic Theory of Decision-Making.

The school is co-organized by ESHET (European Society for the History of Economic Thought), PHARE (Centre for the Philosophy, History and Analysis of Economic Representation, University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne), University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, University of Insubria, and University of Milan.

PhD students and young scholars (PhD degree obtained after January 2016) who wish to attend the school should submit an extended abstract proposal in English of 750 to 1,000 words, or a full-paper proposal of up to 7,500 words. Papers can be in any topic in the history or methodology of economics, also a topic different from the summer school’s main theme. Each student attending the school will present her/his research paper. Another student will discuss the paper, and the members of ESHET’s scientific committee as well as the invited speakers attending the school will provide further feedback. A general discussion open to floor will follow each presentation.

More information about the topic, the program, the speakers and the location is available at:
