Call for papers,

International Conference of the Charles Gide Association

Paris - May 27 to 29, 2010

PHARE (University of Paris I Pantheon-Sorbonne) 
organizes in Paris from May 27 to 29, 2010 the 
13th Biennial International Conference of the 
Charles Gide Association for the Study of 
Economic Thought (ACGEPE). The theme of the 
conference is "Institutions in Economic Thought", 
but communications in history of economic thought 
on other issues are also welcomed.

A reflection on institutions is essential to 
understand the economic world, from 
organizational routines to crises, from 
transaction to public intervention. The history 
of economic thought emphasizes that all economic 
theories, and not only those that declare 
themselves as such, integrate institutions in 
their arguments. Whether mere rules of the game 
or embedded in the economic life, chosen or 
spontaneous, legal or informal, institutions are 
indeed necessary for coordination among agents. 
Proposals for communications on the conference 
theme fall within one or several of the following topics:

1. The history of theories that make institutions 
an object of economic analysis. Themes of the 
communications may be the study of specific 
trends (for example, New Institutional Economics: 
Transaction Cost Theory, Public Choice, Law and 
Economics), concepts (the action in the 
institution, efficiency, justice, evolution...) or methods.

2. The history of theories that make institutions 
a tool of analysis, such as institutional 
theories of the economy (Old American 
Institutionalism, German Historical Schools, 
Theory of Regulation, Economics of Conventions, 
New Economic History, Classical, Marxist, 
Keynesian and Austrian trends...). Economic 
analysis is here modified to integrate both 
institutions and their evolutions, which can be 
justified through epistemological works. This 
topic also includes controversies and cases in 
which the consideration for institutions affects 
the analysis of economic variables (notably 
prices, employment, crisis, economic policy, risk management).

3. The history of the analysis of specific 
institutions in the economy, if it identifies the 
role of economic practices in the development of 
the analysis of institutions. This may concern 
legal, international, monetary and financial 
institutions, enterprise, market organization, 
economic institutions of transitions and 
development. This topic is thus about the 
contribution of the history of institutions to 
the history of economic thought (for example, 
monetary thought has developed during political 
debates on financial institution). In this line, 
a special focus on the history of the 
institutions of the economics profession (schools 
of thought, societies, etc.) is possible.

Besides, the 13th Charles Gide conference 
inaugurates the principle of open sessions.

The proposals for communications, in the form of 
abstracts of approx. 500 words, specifying 
whether or not the paper falls under the theme of 
the conference, shall be sent before November 27, 
2009, at 
<mailto:[log in to unmask]>[log in to unmask]

The decisions of the scientific committee will be 
made by December 18, 2009 and final papers will 
have to be sent before April 23, 2010.
