ANNOUNCEMENT 1:
Fondazione “Centro Studi e Documentazione Piero Sraffa”
Working Papers
Scientific Committee: Pierangelo Garegnani, Andrea Iovane, Paolo Leon, Enrico
Sergio Levrero, Fabio Petri, Fernando Vianello
The Fondazione announces publication of a series of “Quaderni di Ricerca”
intended to collect and promote work conducted along the lines of the approach
to distribution and relative prices of the old classical economists, brought
to light and developed by Piero Sraffa and later writers. It is thus hoped
also to offer a forum for comparison and debate with work conducted along
different lines, mainstream or critical. Particular attention will be devoted
to studies concerning concrete economic realities and to the unprejudiced
observation of facts which should play a central role in the reconstruction of
economics.
The first three papers published or about to be published are:
1. F. Vianello, The Smithian Origin of Ricardo’s Corn-Ratio Theory of Profits:
a Suggested Interpretation;
2. M. Piccioni and F. Ravagnani, Absolute Rent and the “Normal Price” of
Exhaustible Resources;
3. P. Garegnani, Misunderstanding Classical Economics? A Reply.
Copies of the papers can be obtained from Fondazione “Centro studi e
documentazione Piero Sraffa”, Faculty of Economics, University of Rome 3, v.
Ostiense, 139, 00154, Rome, Italy, e-mail: [log in to unmask] The papers will

ANNOUNCMENT 2:
Fondazione Centro Studi e Documentazione Piero Sraffa
Dipartimento di Economia Politica, Università RomaTre
Announcement:
The Fondazione Centro Ricerche Studi e Documentazione Piero Sraffa* offers a
fellowship of 13000 euros to foreign scholars interested in classical
political economy and in Piero Sraffa scientific contribution. The fellowship
entails residence in Rome for a period of 9 months beginning 15 October 2003.
The fellowship is intended for scholars who are enrolled or about to enrol in
a Ph.D. program. Applications are however welcome also from more experienced
scholars who already hold a Ph.D. or have equivalent research experience. In
addition to the winner of the fellowship the Centro will admit other qualified
students who can fund their stay from a different source.
During a first part of their period of residence participants in the program
will be expected to conduct readings concerning the classical economists,
their interpretation, Sraffa's contribution and later developments with
respect both to the critique of marginal theories and the revival of the
classical approach. Short essays will be written on assigned themes and
discussed with supervisors. It will also be possible to attend lectures on
these subjects given at this University. In a second period of their stay
participants will work at a longer essay on a subject of their choice, to be
considered in the light of the Classical approach and its modern developments.
They will be helped through this work by supervisions and informal discussion
with members of the Centro Sraffa. All work can be conducted in either Italian
or English.
The scholarship will be paid in three instalments at the beginning of each
term in October, January and April. The sum can be adjustable if the holder
comes with dependents. Travel expenses will be refunded upon arrival. It will
be exceptionally possible to spend one of the three terms of residence in a
following academic year - the need for such arrangement should however be
specified in the application. Participants in the program will be assigned a
tutor to help them organize their stay in Rome.
Candidates are asked to include with their applications, besides their mailing
and e-mail addresses and telephone number: i) a curriculum; ii) a testimonial
by a scholar well acquainted with their work; iii) a short description of
their research interests and published or unpublished writings.
Applications must be sent to the FONDAZIONE CENTRO RICERCHE STUDI E
DOCUMENTAZIONE PIERO SRAFFA, VIA OSTIENSE 139 - 00154 ROMA - ITALIA
(tel.++39.+6-57374.037/035/003; fax. (++39)(+6)57374-254) and arrive by 15th
