CALL FOR PAPERS By initiative of the Association Charles Gide pour l'Etude de la Pensee Economique (Charles Gide Association for the Study of Economic Thought), a conference will be held in Toronto (Ontario, Canada) in June 1996 on the theme: TIME IN ECONOMIC THOUGHT In economics, the temporal dimension presents three kinds of problems, which can be characterized respectively, in one or more of the following ways: the manner in which economic agents take time into account: how do they anticipate, form expectations, make decisions under uncertainty, acquire information; the manner in which economic analysis itself takes time into account: the nature of time (mechanical or historical), the nature of causality (instantaneous or temporal), effects of time on the formation of equilibrium, and on the evolutionary process; the manner in which history is integrated into economic analysis: evolutionary approaches, technological change. The proposed conference seeks to examine the different formulations of time found throughout the history of economics and in different intellectual traditions, thereby increasing our understanding of the significance of time in economics. Abstracts (one or two pages) of proposed papers must be submitted to the Program Committee before October 15, 1995. The final version of each paper is due by April 15, 1996.
