====================== HES POSTING ================== CALL FOR PAPERS Bureau d'Economie Theorique et Appliquee, UMR 7522 du CNRS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE under the auspices of the Association Charles Gide FRIDAY-SATURDAY, 6 -7 november, 1998, STRASBOURG, FRANCE NICHOLAS GEORGESCU-ROEGEN's Scientific WORK The purpose of this conference is to pay tribute to one of the great economists of the XXth century. Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen passed away on October 30th, 1994 at the age of 88. He began his teaching carrier as Professor in Bucharest, then taught for a short time at Harvard and was finally appointed Professor at Vanderbilt University until his retirement in 1976. Granted Doctor "Honoris Causa" of Louis Pasteur University of Strasbourg in 1976, he was Visiting Professor at this University during the academic years 1976-1977 and 1977-1978. His intellectual trajectory led him from Statistics to Mathematical Economics and to Epistemology. Although his first contributions had addressed pure consumer theory, production theory and activity analysis, he progressively engaged in a criticism of the traditional view of the production process, which led him to develop a new theoretical approach. The conference aims at a reflection both on the content of his thought and on the impact of his work on contemporary economics. Proposals should cover in particular the following topics : 1. Epistemology/Methodology 2. Environment/Energy/ Development 3. Utility and Uncertainty 4. Production and Growth Models SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Honorary Chairman : Paul A. SAMUELSON, Nobel Prize A.
