Summer Institute
SI
2010 will be held at the University of Richmond in Richmond, Virginia.
The Institute offers a forum for distinguished scholars and graduate
students to present work in progress or more polished papers to a lively
audience. Past speakers include Brad Bateman, Mauro Boianovsky, James
Buchanan, Dave Colander, Dan Hammond, Samuel Hollander, M. Ali Khan,
Anthony Laden, David Levy, Deirdre McCloskey, Steve Medema, Phil Mirowski,
Leon Montes, Mary Morgan, Maria Paganelli, Malcolm Rutherford, Warren
Samuels, Eric Schliesser, Gordon Tullock, Anthony Waterman, and Roy
Weintraub.
We are especially interested in participation by upper level undergraduate
and graduate students in economics or related disciplines. The department
of economics at George Mason and the History of Economics Society enables
us to subsidize such student participation. This year as always we
welcome proposals on any topic. The following topics are of particular
interest: Rawls and the Economists; Warren Nutter; translating economic
ideas; experiments, controlled and natural; TMS at (almost) 250; welfare
economics. As in past years, the Institute will be supported by the
Earhart Foundation. Much of the support is used to recompense speakers
for their participation in the Institute. Conference events include good
coffee and continental breakfasts, lunches, as well as one or two working
dinners.
