« History of macroeconomics: from the years of « High Theory » (1926-1939) to modern approaches »

Call for proposals
(Submission deadline 15th of January 2012)

In the context of the current economic crisis, macroeconomists have great incentives to investigate the founding contributions of macroeconomics as an autonomous field of research. The aim of this conference is to question the nature of those investigations and to analyze how macroeconomics has evolved.
Proposals for communications on the conference theme might fall within one or several of the following topics:
1. Modelling Expectations
2. Financial instability, deflation and debt policy
3. Business cycles theories, cyclical growth analyses
4. The finance-growth nexus
5. Theories of economic growth
6. Accelerator – multiplier models (debates, microeconomic foundations…)
7. Corridor of stability and macroeconomic policies
8. Disequilibrium theories
9. Monetary theories and policies
10. Keynes and Keynesianism
11. Economic theories and policies

Plenary addresses will be given by Kevin Hoover (Duke University), Pascal Bridel (Lausanne University) and Rodolphe Dos Santos Ferreira (Strasbourg University).

The 14th Charles Gide conference also encourages submissions of papers or open sessions in all other fields of History of Economic Thought.

A thematic issue will be published at the Cahiers d’Economie Politique: a specific call for papers will be diffused soon and posted on the websites of the Charles Gide Association for the Study of Economic Thought and of Cahiers d’économie politique.
