ANNOUNCEMENT OF A MAJOR PRIZE COMPETITION
Thorstein Veblen was born on 30 July 1857. In order to commemorate the 150th
anniversary of his birth, the Association for Evolutionary Economics (AFEE)
and the European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy (EAEPE) will
co-sponsor the Veblen 150 Prize Competition.
Anyone may submit a written work. Those who submit written work will be
considered a candidate for the prize.
Candidates will be expected to submit written works on the nature of
institutions, the theory of institutional evolution, the philosophical
foundations of institutional and evolutionary economics, or the application
of institutional or evolutionary theory to economic policy. These themes
reflect Veblenian concerns.
Contestants will be divided into two groups:
(1) Candidates born on or after 1 January 1973, or currently enrolled PhD
students, or candidates who were awarded their PhD on or after 1 January
2003.
(2) Candidates who do not qualify under (1) above.
Submitted works may be unpublished, or published no earlier than 2005.
Books, articles or PhD theses may be considered. Up to four prizes shall be
awarded. For each of group (1) and group (2) there will be up to two prizes
of 2,000 GBP each.
Candidates must submit their work to Geoff Hodgson, to be received by 30
June 2007. Submissions must be on a single electronic file (to
[log in to unmask]) or six printed copies of the work (to Prof G
Hodgson, The Business School, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield,
Hertfordshire AL10 9AB, UK).
Current Trustees of FEED as well as members of the councils of EAEPE and
AFEE in 2006 or 2007 shall be ineligible to enter this competition.
The prizes will be judged by a panel nominated jointly by AFEE and EAEPE and
by the Foundation for European Economic Development (FEED). The prizes are
funded by FEED (a registered UK charity).
