International Walras Association 2010 Conference
CALL FOR PAPERS
« Léon Walras (1834-1910) – Centennial Conference»
9 - 11 September 2010
Lyon – TRIANGLE - Université Lumičre-Lyon 2
The International Walras Association 7th
Conference will take place from Thursday
September 9th to Saturday September 11th, 2010 at
the University Lumičre-Lyon 2, in Lyon,
France.
The 2010 conference is of particular importance
since it is part of the centennial
commemoration of Walras’s death, which occurred
on January 5th, 1910 at Clarens near
Montreux, Switzerland.
Through a discussion of the various themes
developed by Walras in his writings of pure,
applied and social economics, this conference
should allow a thorough reappraisal of Walras’s
entire intellectual output (and not exclusively
his central contribution to general equilibrium
analysis). Among the various themes that could be
addressed, the organisers would
particularly welcome contributions on Walras’s
theory of history, his analysis of the dynamics
of capitalism, crises, money, banks, public
goods, natural monopolies and externalities, social
legislation and insurances, property rights and
taxes as well as free trade and protectionism.
Contributions on Walras’s intellectual networks,
and notably his international connections
with his fellow economists, are equally welcome.
Anyone interested should submit an abstract of
300 words (in French or English) before July
31st, 2009 to the AIW vice-presidents Pascal
Bridel and Jean-Pierre Potier. Mail :

Propositions (under PDF) should be sent
electronically and indicate clearly title, author’s
name, affiliation, postal as well as electronic addresses.
