===================== HES POSTING ======================== Dear Editor, We would appreciate if you could spread the following news. Albert Jolink ======================================================== New Ph.D. Programme in Philosophy and Economics Erasmus University is launching a new Ph.D. Programme in Philosophy and Economics in 1997. Thanks to recent appointments, Erasmus University has created a unique centre devoted to the combined study of philosophy and economics. The Ph.D. programme exploits the expertise of specialists such as Uskali Maki, Arjo Klamer, Maarten Janssen, Jack Vromen, and Albert Jolink at the Erasmus Institute of Philosophy and Economics. The Ph.D. Programme consists of one year advanced course work and two years of research within the broad framework of the Erasmus Institute Research Programme 'Institutions'. The advanced courses will go into topical issues in the philosophy of economics, microeconomics and game theory, evolutionary and new institutional economics, history of economic thought, and the rhetoric and culture of economics. The Research Programme is organized under four headings: 'Economics of Institutions', 'Institutions of Economics', 'Economics in Philosophy' and 'Philosophy in Economics' (a detailed description of the research programme is available upon request). The Ph.D programme is open to all candidates who have a completed Master's degree in economics, in philosophy, or in the philosophy of economics, and who have a strong interest in subjects falling within any or all of the themes of the Research Programme. (Those who are within 3 months of completion of their Master's may also apply.) The tuition for the first year is Dfl. 10.000. After the first year, students can apply for a fellowship of approximately Dfl. 24.000 per year for the second and third year. The deadline for applications is 15 February 1997. Subject to the availability of positions, applications received before 31 July 1997 may be considered. The Programme will start in September 1997.
