Web: http://intranet.u-paris10.fr/uehpe Created in 1998, the Summer School in History of Economic Thought aims at: offering a specialized thematic formation for young scholars in History of Economic Thought; ensuring the circulation and scientific evaluation of their research work within the community of historians of economic thought; increasing their awareness of developments in contemporary economic analysis and of their affiliation with the entire economic discipline. In this perspective, the Summer School proposes: Workshops where Ph.D. students and young Doctors may present their papers and discuss them with specialists of their discipline; and, Conferences by invited professors, dealing each year with a different subject. About thirty Ph.D. students and young doctors form the usual public of the Summer School, usually joined by some fifteen senior scholars. From this year onwards, the call for papers is also sent to young scholars from different countries in the European Union. Oral and written presentations in English are accepted, but at least an understanding of Frenchis required. Paper Presentation Workshops Between three and six papers will be presented every day by young scholars on free subjects, organized according to their research field. These presentations will take place in presence of the invited lecturers and senior scholars. Two discussants will be assigned to each contribution, including the president of the session. The list of the chosen contributions will result from a selection based on the call for papers. An abstract or the full version of the paper in French or English, should be submitted before June 1, 2002. During June 2002, the Scientific Committee will proceed to the selection of papers, according to the usual criteria of the scientific community. Thematic Orientation In 2002 the subject of the invited lectures is: "Stability and Instability in the History of Economic Thought" This theme follows the line given by the previous Summer Schools. The aim remains at bringing closer the history of economic thought and more recent theoretical considerations. The question of stability has an ancient origin: it appeared, for example, during the mercantilist period, through the debates on the "stability of contracts", or in Quesnay's reflections on the formation of the "good price" of wheat. Today, it is as present as before, behind more recent investigations concerning the dynamic properties of economic systems: It underlies the study of the price formation process in the market (gravitation, tâtonnement, non-tâtonnement) associated with the emergence of equilibrium magnitudes. It also lies behind the Keynesian thesis, according to which an economy might spontaneously reach a stable unemployment equilibrium. It is also present behind the controversies of the classical period about the possibility of overproduction or under-consumption crises. It is obviously present in the different variants of the theories of the economic cycle, as well as in growth theories. It still plays a decisive part, in multiple aspects of economic life, as a property of beliefs in the decision process. Invited Lectures Each morning during the Summer University is dedicated to a particular aspect of the subject. The conference by one or several specialized lecturers will be based on a document and followed by a discussion with all the participants.
