Economics and Language A workshop organized by the the Urrutia Elejalde Foundation at the Universidad Nacional de Educacion a Distancia Madrid, June 15-17 (2006) Coordinators: Ariel Rubinstein (Tel Aviv University) & Jesus Zamora Bonilla (UNED) Can economists contribute to the study of language? Very often philosophers have questioned that instrumental rationality could account for the rational structure underlying our natural languages. Most linguists have simply ignored the economic approach. After the publication of Ariel Rubinstein's Economics and Language (CUP, 2000) there seems to be an opportunity to bridge all these gaps. Speakers: Ariel Rubinstein (Tel Aviv), J. F. Alvarez (Madrid), Andreas Blume (Pittsburgh) Bruce Chapman (Toronto), Gerhard J�ger (Bielefeld), Fabi�n Muniesa (Paris), Robert van Rooij (Amsterdam) Contributed papers by: Asuncion Alvarez, David Austen-Smith +Timothy J.
