CALL FOR PAPERS 
 
By initiative of the Association Charles Gide pour l'Etude de la 
Pensee Economique (Charles Gide Association for the Study of 
Economic Thought), a conference will be held in Toronto (Ontario, 
Canada) in June 1996 on the theme: 
 
                    TIME IN ECONOMIC THOUGHT 
 
In economics, the temporal dimension presents three kinds of 
problems, which can be characterized respectively, in one or more 
of the following ways: 
 
the manner in which economic agents take time into account: how 
     do they anticipate, form expectations, make decisions under 
     uncertainty, acquire information; 
 
the manner in which economic analysis itself takes time into 
     account: the nature of time (mechanical or historical), the 
     nature of causality (instantaneous or temporal), effects of 
     time on the formation of equilibrium, and on the 
     evolutionary process; 
 
the manner in which history is integrated into economic analysis: 
     evolutionary approaches, technological change. 
 
 
The proposed conference seeks to examine the different 
formulations 
of time found throughout the history of economics and in 
different 
intellectual traditions, thereby increasing our understanding of 
the significance of time in economics. 
 
Abstracts (one or two pages) of proposed papers must be submitted 
to the Program Committee before October 15, 1995. The final 
version 
of each paper is due by April 15, 1996.
