The editors of Research in the History of Economic Thought and Methodology (RHETM) are now accepting submissions for the 2016 volume.
In addition to general research articles, the volume will include a special themed section of new essays dedicated to the investigation of postwar developments in the Austrian School of economics. Professors Peter Boettke and Christopher Coyne, both of

• The wartime disintegration of the original Vienna-based School and its re-establishment and subsequent development in the States (and elsewhere).
• The postwar activities of Mises, Hayek, Haberler, Machlup, Morgenstern, et al.
• The activities of later-generation Austrian economists such as Kirzner, Lachmann, Rothbard, Rizzo, O’Driscoll, Garrison, and Boettke.
• The history of Austrian economics at George Mason University.
• The history of the Ludwig von Mises Institute at Auburn University.
• The Mises Circle in the United States at New York University.
