Description
Interdependencies, Causation, and Synergies between Economic History and History of Economics
A Workshop of the YSI History of Economic Thought and Economic History Working Groups.
How do economic history and the history of economics complement but also constrain each other? To what degree should historians of economics care about recent research in economic history and vice versa? Can either discipline dispute the causality or responsibility claims of the other? This workshop aims at bringing together historians of economic thought and economic historians to foster a better understanding of each discipline and create potential synergies. Candidates should be interested in understanding how developments in economic thinking changed the course of economic history at crucial junctures, and the effects of specific historical events on economic thinking.
The workshop will be led by professors Marc Flandreau (Pennsylvania) and Carolyn Biltoft (Graduate Institute, Geneva). To apply please fill in the following form: LINK
