Università degli Studi del Molise
Dipartimento di Bioscienze e Territorio, via Duca degli Abruzzi 67, 86039 Termoli (CB)
“RAFFAELLI LECTURE”
The “Raffaelli lecture” is in honor of Tiziano Raffaelli, Full professor of History of Economic Thought at the University of Pisa, an internationally renowned specialist of Alfred Marshall’s economics, a promoter of several research initiatives of political economy, and an active and reputable member of STOREP. Starting from the 14th Annual STOREP Conference, and thanks to the generosity of Manuela Giovannetti, full professor at the University of Pisa and widow of Tiziano Raffaelli, STOREP invites every year an internationally recognized scholar who has led innovative research on Raffaelli’s main interests – from Alfred Marshall’s thought, in particular, to, more generally, industrial economics, evolutionary economics, economic methodology – to hold a one-hour lecture to participants in the main conference. STOREP will broadly disseminate the lecture contents on its website and social media, and eventually on special issues of academic journals with selected articles presented in the Annual Conference.
