Gide Conference:
Do Laws Exist in Economics
Universite de Lille is
holding the biennial conference of the french «Association Charles GIDE
pour l’etude de la pensee economique» next Fall (22, 23 & 24 September
2005) in University of Lille I (North of France) on the topic «Do Laws
exist in Economics? ». If there are no laws, or if there is no unified
body of laws constituting a system, to what extend can economics be
considered as a science or an art? If there are laws, what are they and
how does economics constitute itself by bringing them to light, testing
their empirical validity and endowing them with a rational basis?These
questions suggest a number of tracks. For instance : Semantic track : to
what extent do the attribution of an economist’s name to a law or the
association of economists’ names with other terms (effects,
equilibrium…) reveal the place the discipline attributes in its
development to the history of economic thought? Historical track: what
are the great and small laws that economists have formulated during
modern times and how have their representations of these evolved?
Malthus’ Law, Engel’s Law, Say’s Law or Walras’ Law, the law of supply
and demand, etc… Analytical track: in what sense have some of these
great or small laws constituted signs of opposition or mutual
recognition between different schools and doctrines? Philosophical
track: how did economics break free of morality and moral laws on
justice and on justice and benevolence in affirming a domain where only
the ‘law of self interest’ rules? How did it break free of politics in
affirming the existence of a sphere, independent of any monetary
institution where the ‘Law of value’ only rules?
If you are interested in presenting a paper, please open the website of
the conference : http://www.univ-lille1.fr/clerse/lois/ and follow the
instructions for the submission of an abstract of about 3 pages. The
deadline for submissions is : 8 December 2004.
Paper proposals must provide information about the author (name,
address, institutional affiliation) and the title of the contribution.

Proposals that address
social inequality and social justice activism, both locally within
NAFTA’s signatory countries and across borders, are particularly
encouraged. Appropriate topics include, but are not limited to, labor
activism and worker-to-worker exchanges, local community impacts and
civic engagement, the environmental consequences of NAFTA, gender and
im/migration, citizenship and racial/ethnic identities, and
transnational communities. Papers that include descriptions of specific
research experiences and methodological concerns from projects examining
NAFTA’s effects during the past decade are especially welcome.
Scholarship that explores the future development and possible
implications of the NAFTA corridor (I-69, for which Memphis, Tennessee
lies at the mid-point) is also of interest.
Interested scholars and
activists/practitioners should submit a proposal of approximately 500
words (excluding references) that summarizes their topic, methods of
investigation and conclusions. A brief biographical statement and full
contact information should also be included. To ensure consideration,
proposals must be received by November 1, 2004 at the address below:

Forum: The
Spirit of Innovation/International Symposium John Kenneth Galbraith
September, 22-25, 2004
– Paris
Sponsored by the
research group on Industry and Innovation (Lab.RII) of the University of
Littoral Côte d’Opale and the group IGS (Institute of Social
Management), France
The first Forum The
Spirit of Innovation / International Symposium John Kenneth Galbraith
was held in Paris from the 22nd to the 25th September 2004. It honoured
the work of John Kenneth Galbraith. The aims of this symposium were to
study again the rich and eclectic thought of this great author but also,
according to his approach, to put into light – and to question –
today’s’ conventional wisdom, these ideas which are well received by the
public, which are repeated, taught and diffused by the media and which
are often very far from the economic and social reality. To improve the
understanding of the economic reality aims at finding new political
perspectives, but also in a context of questioning the methods of
teaching economics, it aims at going beyond the traditional and often
too abstract ways which cause the lack of interest of students and then
of individuals for the economic and social problems of the period. These
tasks have often been achieved and gave birth to strong and rich
debates within the sessions of this symposium.
To classify John Kenneth Galbraith in a
predetermined school of the economic sciences has revealed to be a very
difficult task: the influences of the Institutionalists, of the
Keynesians and of the Marxists were emphasized but the
contributors also concluded that a Galbraithian school did not exist.
However, the participants of this conference largely referred to
Galbraith’s approach – which associates history and sociology to the
economic analysis – and to his main contributions to the economic
science: the question of power, of large corporation, financial markets
and institutions as well as the analysis of traditional or new
countervailing powers were at the centre of the sessions which were
dealing with the economic actuality. The issue of innovation included
the question of the origins of innovation and its micro or macro
economic effects. It also continued the destruction of the myth of a
powerful consumer (even if its learning capacity was discussed) all the
more so that financial euphoria, riddled with disillusions, still
obscures the perception of economic actors. The international context
lead the participants to repeat that war is inherent to the functioning
of capitalism, destroying resources and opening new perspectives of
accumulation. Finally, the role of public institutions has been
reaffirmed to support the endogenous creation of resources in developing
countries and to boost new forms of co-development between countries of
the North and of the South. James K. GALBRAITH’s (University of Texas)
presentation “Galbraith a partisan appraisal”, his biographer one’s
Richard PARKER (University of Harvard) “Where Galbraith’s ideas come
from” and Paul DAVIDSON’s (University of Tennessee) presentation
“Galbraith and the Post Keynesian Economists” were the great moments of
the event. The honouring presence of Madam Catherine GALBRAITH created a
moving atmosphere and the lights of the American Embassy and of the
Palais du Luxembourg opened and closed the conference with this strong
willingness to follow on, during the next Forum the Spirit of
Innovation, the exploration of this non orthodox thought.

Heterodox Journals and
Newsletters
Journal of
Institutional Economics (JOIE)
The first issue of the Journal of
Institutional Economics (JOIE) will appear in June 2005 and it will be
published by Cambridge University Press.
JOIE will not carry short book reviews. Instead we plan to publish
longer review articles of 1-4 books on a common theme. These review
articles will be refereed: publication will depend on the referees'
reports and the decision of the editors, like all other articles
published in the journal.
I am writing to ask if you would be interested in writing such a review
article for JOIE. If so, please email me a 100-500 word proposal,
including details of the books to be reviewed, the common theme
involved, and the kind of arguments and avenues that you will explore in
your review essay. In addition, please email a copy of your C.V..
The editors will then select the most promising and suitable proposals,
and commission the review articles accordingly.
We are interested in a broad range of themes, including those that cross
disciplinary boundaries. JOIE is devoted to the study of the nature,
role and evolution of institutions in the economy, including firms,
states, markets, money, households and other vital institutions and
organizations. It welcomes contributions by all schools of thought that
can contribute to our understanding of the features, development and
functions of real world economic institutions and organizations.

New Heterodox Books and Book
Series
Publications from GDAE
GDAE's continuing work on critiques of
cost-benefit analysis and current health and environmental regulatory
debates has led to three recent publications. The first two were
published by the Center for Progressive Regulation
(progressiveregulation.org).
* In "Applying Cost-benefit Analysis to Past
Decisions: Was Protecting the Environment Ever a Good Idea?", Frank
Ackerman, Lisa Heinzerling, and Rachel Massey argue that the style of
cost-benefit analysis of regulations currently favored in Washington
would have led to rejecting most of the past successes of health and
environmental regulation. Case studies examined in depth include the
regulation of lead in gasoline, the decision not to dam the Grand Canyon
in the 1960s, and the regulation of workplace exposure to vinyl
chloride.
http://www.ase.tufts.edu/gdae/Pubs/rp/CPRRetrospectiveCBAJuly04.pdf
* In "Flimsy Firewalls: The Continuing Triumph of Efficiency over Safety
and Regulating Mad Cow Risks", Frank Ackerman assists lead author Thomas
McGarity, a law professor at the University of Texas, in exposing the
inadequate regulation of mad cow risks in the US today. Ackerman
contributed the statistical critique of a major study by the Harvard
Center for Risk Analysis, which is widely cited as the basis for
industry and government confidence that we are safe from an outbreak of
mad cow disease.
http://www.ase.tufts.edu/gdae/Pubs/rp/MadCowReportJuly04.htm
* In a debate in Environmental Forum magazine (September/October 2004,
reprinted by permission of the publisher), Frank Ackerman debates
Maureen Cropper, James Hammitt, and Cass Sunstein on the moral issues
raised by Ackerman and Heinzerling in their recent book, Priceless.
While the other contributors assert that there is little or nothing
wrong with monetary valuation of health and environment from a moral
perspective, Ackerman emphasizes the ethically troubling assumption,
built into standard cost-benefit analyses, that all public choices
involve commodities rather than rights.

Peter Earl, Tim
Wakeley, Business Economics: A Contemporary Approach
Business Economics: A Contemporary Approach
provides students with a practical and useful learning resource that is
rooted firmly in a pragmatic and pluralist approach to economic
analysis. Designed for both undergraduates and MBA students taking their
first course in business economics, the text focuses on introducing
students to the richness of economics as a framework for understanding
business. It is structured around the changing sets of problems that
decision-makers face, such as getting a firm started, keeping the firm
in business despite growing competition, growing the firm and finally,
rejuvenating the firm in the face of declining demand.
The book covers both mainstream and heterodox theoretical approaches:
This text's starting point is how people in the real world actually make
decisions. In order to illustrate this, this text covers not just
orthodox (‘neoclassical') but also heterodox (behavioural/
evolutionary/Post Keynesian) perspectives, allowing the reader to
appreciate the merits of various approaches.

Heterodox Graduate Program
Erasmus
Institute for Philosophy and Economics
The Erasmus Institute for Philosophy and
Economics (EIPE) invites students to apply for its GRADUATE PROGRAMME in
philosophy and economics, preferably before February 1, 2005 (later
applications will be considered on a first come, first serve basis). The
focus of the programme is on interdisciplinary areas where the
Philosophy and Methodology of Economics, on the one hand, and
Institutional Economics, on the other, meet (with particular attention
paid to the new developments in science studies and to the new economics
of institutions and organizations).
The programme is strongly international. Its working language is
English.
Ideally, applicants have a Master's degree in economics or in
philosophy, or are close to completing such a degree. Those with a
strong Bachelor's degree will also be considered.
The programme is in two parts. The first part provides a one-year MPhil
Degree and it can be done separately. It consists of a set of
foundational courses on topics that range from the philosophy and
rhetoric of both mainstream and heterodox economics to the foundations
of new institutional and evolutionary economics. The core courses are
currently given by Mark Blaug, John Groenewegen, Arjo Klamer, Uskali
Maki, and Jack Vromen as well as visiting professors (such as, in
2000-2004, by Gregory Dow, Wade Hands, John Davis, and Claude Menard).
Overall, EIPE has some 20 Members who participate in its activities,
including teaching, and whose areas of expertise cover a broad range of
fields and topics, from philosophy of science, social epistemology,
social ontology, and internet ethics to theories of rationality,
transaction cost economics, organization theory, game theory, and
cultural economics (the current list of members comprises Gerrit
Antonides, Mark Blaug, Igor Douven, Sanjeev Goyal, John Groenewegen,
George Hendrikse, Jeroen van den Hoven, Maarten Janssen, Arjo Klamer,
Barbara Krug, Theo Kuipers, Deirdre McCloskey, Uskali Maki, Bart
Nooteboom, Paivi Oinas, Laszlo Polos, Ruth Towse, Jack Vromen, Richard
Whitley, Theo van Willigenburg).
The MPhil will be useful for those who want to have a solid introduction
to the areas covered; those who want to upgrade their knowledge close to
the frontline research on these themes; and those who want to prepare
themselves for PhD research at EIPE or elsewhere.
After the MPhil, students can apply
for the second part of the EIPE Programme, the PhD programme. PhD theses
focus on topics related to the EIPE Research Programme "Institutions".
EIPE organizes a regular research seminar
with internationally renowned experts presenting papers. It also runs a
PhD seminar to provide a forum for discussion of the work in progress by
its graduate students. Moreover, it organises international workshops
and conferences on a wide range of topics.
For more information about the institute, the graduate programme, and
application procedures see our web site:

the institute, Loes van Dijk (internationaloffice@fwb.eur.nl,
