New Ph.D. Programme in Philosophy and Economics 
 
Erasmus University is launching a new Ph.D. Programme in Philosophy 
and Economics in 1997. Thanks to recent appointments, Erasmus 
University has created a unique centre devoted to the combined study 
of philosophy and economics. The Ph.D. programme exploits the 
expertise of specialists such as Uskali Maki, Arjo Klamer, Maarten 
Janssen, Jack Vromen, and Albert Jolink at the Erasmus Institute of 
Philosophy and Economics. 
 
The Ph.D. Programme consists of one year advanced course work and two 
years of research within the broad framework of the Erasmus Institute 
Research Programme 'Institutions'. The advanced courses will go into 
topical issues in the philosophy of economics, microeconomics and game 
theory, evolutionary and new institutional economics, history of 
economic thought, and the rhetoric and culture  of economics. The 
Research Programme is organized under four headings: 'Economics of 
Institutions', 'Institutions of Economics', 'Economics in Philosophy' 
and 'Philosophy in Economics' (a detailed description of the research 
programme is available upon request). 
 
The Ph.D programme is open to all candidates who have a completed 
Master's degree in economics, in philosophy, or  in the philosophy of 
economics, and who have a strong interest in subjects falling within 
any or all of the themes of the Research Programme. (Those who are 
within 3 months of completion of their Master's may also apply.) The 
tuition for the first year is Dfl. 10.000. After the first year, 
students can apply for a fellowship of approximately Dfl. 24.000 per 
year for the second and third year. 
 
The deadline for applications is 15 February 1997. Subject to the 
availability of positions, applications received before 31 July 1997 
may be considered. The Programme will start in September 1997.
