Heterodox Economic Research

ASSA Meetings - US ↑

The acronym ASSA stands for "Allied Social Science Association" and is basically a marketing label denoting an annual three-day conference in some major US-city at the start of every new year. The conference is organized by the American Economic Association and serves as a major gathering in mainstream economics. However, the AEA also invites a series of 'recognized' partners to contribute sessions to the conference. In this course a series of heterodox economic associations based (partly) in the US, like URPE, AFEE, ASE or IAFFE, are regularly enriching the ASSA-conferences by providing space for the discussion and advancement of heterodox economics. Hence, the ASSA is a an interesting place to be as it represents the full diversity of economic thought, although, regrettably, in roughly correct proportions.

The official ASSA-page managed by the AEA can be found here.
Calls for heterodox ASSA-sessions are collected and published in the Heterodox Economics Newsletter.

Annual Conference of the Australian Society of Heterodox Economists (SHE) ↑

The Society of Heterodox Economists (SHE) represents a gathering of economists outside the mainstream, who believe that the study of the discipline of economics goes beyond the study of mainstream theory in its present state of development and the application of purely quantitative techniques to the formation of judgments on qualitative questions. To actively promote our view that awareness of a variety of economics theories is a requirement of professional competence, we have established a structure around the Society of Heterodox Economists which would provide a formal body to lobby on behalf of heterodox economists.The annual conference is held in the beginning of december every year and usually takes place at the University of Sydney, Australia.

ECLAC Summer School on "Latin American economies" ↑

In ECLAC's analytical tradition, production structure, technological progress and trade specialization are the main variables that explain long-run economic and social development. ECLAC's contributions are part of a tradition in economic theory that combines the Keynesian paradigm with the Schumpeterian and evolutionist traditions. The former pays special attention to income distribution and full employment policies, while the latter focuses on the dynamics of learning, technological innovation and diffusion and its impact on the production patterns. These traditions recognize that industrial and technological policies are crucial to foster developing countries' convergence with the developed economies in terms of technological capabilities and per capita GDP. In ECLAC's School, the participants debate these topics in an open, plural and multidisciplinary framework. They study empirical and theoretical topics emphasizing recent Latin American economic history and its impacts on economic perspectives and policies.

Information on the ECLAC Summer School can be found here.

The subjects of the papers may differ from the Summer School’s main theme. The presentations will take place in the presence of the members of the scientific committee and of some invited speakers, thus covering a broad area of expertise. Each presentation will be commented by a discussant, chosen among the young scholars, followed by a question and answer session with the audience.

INEM-CHESS Summer School in Philosophy and Economics ↑

The Summer Schools aim to bring together graduate students with scholars from economics, philosophy and neighbouring disciplines in order to exchange ideas, build a community and help to further establish ‘economics and philosophy’ as an independent and diverse research field consisting of economic methodology, history of economic thought, rational choice theory, ethical aspects of economics, and the intersections of these areas. They are meant to complement other events in the area of ‘Economics and Philosophy’, such as the annual International Network for Economic Method (INEM) research conference in that it provides an outlet to attract beginning graduate students to the philosophy of economics and offers a much-needed opportunity for graduate training in this highly diverse field.

The Summer Schools focus on graduate student instruction. Invited scholars will give short courses on topics they specialise in and that fall within the confines of economics and philosophy broadly construed. The short courses will feature mixture of lecture-style and seminar-style formats, and additional panel discussions as well as training sessions will round off the programme. The Summer School usually is held annually in mid-July at the University of San Sebastian.

Advances in New Institutional Analysis, Edward Elgar ↑

Social theory is experiencing something of a revival within economics. Critical analyses of the particular nature of the subject matter of social studies and of the types of method, categories and modes of explanation that can legitimately be endorsed for the scientific study of social objects, are reemerging. Economists are again addressing such issues as the relationship between agency and structure, between economy and the rest of society, and between the enquirer and the object of enquiry. There is a renewed interest in elaborating basic categories such as causation, competition, culture, discrimination, evolution, money, need, order, organization, power probability, process, rationality, technology, time, truth, uncertainty, value, etc. The objective for this series is to facilitate this revival further. In contemporary economics the label theory has been appropriated by a group that confines itself to largely asocial, ahistorical, mathematical modeling . Economics is Social Theory thus reclaims the theory label, offering a platform for alternative rigorous, but broader and more critical conception of theorizing.

Critical Studies in Finance and Stability ↑

The 2007-8 Banking Crash has induced a major and wide-ranging discussion on the subject of financial (in)stability and a need to revaluate theory and policy. The response of policy-makers to the crisis has been to refocus fiscal and monetary policy on financial stabilisation and reconstruction. However, this has been done with only vague ideas of bank recapitalisation and ‘Keynesian’ reflation aroused by the exigencies of the crisis, rather than the application of any systematic theory or theories of financial instability.

Routledge Critical Studies in Finance and Stability, edited by Jan Toporowski from SOAS, University of London covers a range of issues in the area of finance including instability, systemic failure, financial macroeconomics in the vein of Hyman P. Minsky, Ben Bernanke and Mark Gertler, central bank operations, financial regulation, developing countries and financial crises, new portfolio theory and New International Monetary and Financial Architecture.

In contemporary economics the label theory has been appropriated by a group that confines itself to largely asocial, ahistorical, mathematical modeling . Economics is Social Theory thus reclaims the theory label, offering a platform for alternative rigorous, but broader and more critical conception of theorizing.

Frontiers of Political Economy, Routledge ↑

In recent years, there has been widespread criticism of mainstream Economics. This has taken many forms, from methodological critiques of its excessive formalism, to concern about its failure to connect with many of the most pressing social issues. This series provides a forum for research which is developing alternative forms of economic analysis. Reclaiming the traditional political economy title, it refrains from emphasizing any single school of thought, but instead attempts to foster greater diversity within Economics.

Historical Materialism Book Series, Brill ↑

After the disappearance of Marxism as a (supposed) state ideology, a need for a serious and long-term book publishing programme on Marxism was recognized. Most publishers of scholarly work have abandoned any of the systematic publication of critical research on Marxist theory that they may have indulged in during the 1970s and early 1980s. The HM book series addresses this great gap with original monographs, translated texts and reprints of classics works.

The IAFFE book series pursues the aims of the organization by providing a forum in which scholars have space to develop their ideas at length and in detail. The series exemplifies the value of feminist research and the high standard of IAFFE sponsored scholarship.

IIPPE Political Economy and Development, Pluto Press ↑

Political economy and the theory of economic and social development have long been fellow travellers, sharing an interdisciplinary and multi-dimensional character. Over the last fifty years, mainstream economics has become totally formalistic, attaching itself to increasingly narrow methods and techniques at the expense of other approaches. Despite this narrowness, neoclassical economics has expanded its domain of application to other social sciences, but has shown itself incapable of addressing social phenomena and coming to terms with current developments in the world economy. With world financial crises no longer a distant memory, and neoliberalism and postmodernism in retreat, prospects for political economy have strengthened. It allows constructive liaison between the dismal and other social sciences and rich potential in charting and explaining combined and uneven development. This series objective supports revival and renewal of political economy both in itself and in dialogue with other social sciences. Drawing on rich traditions, we invite contributions that constructively engage with heterodox economics, critically assess mainstream economics, address contemporary developments, and offer alternative policy prescriptions.

International Studies in Business History, Routledge ↑

Recent years have seen an explosion of research in business history. Business history is now seen variously as: a key to understanding a vital aspect of the past, a source of parallels and insights into modern business practice, and a way of understanding the evolution of modern business practice. This series is not limited to any single approach, and explores a wide range of issues and industries.

Modern Heterodox Economics, Pickering & Chatto ↑

When we think about the problems affecting the world economy or national economies and how we might solve them, it is easy to forget about the interdependencies at play. A singular focus on economics, government, business or society is often incomplete and ineffective. Not least among overlooked interdependencies are the relationships between economics, firm theory and industrial dynamics; between contemporary problems with ancient roots and historical solutions; between theory, strategy and public policy, between late twentieth-century thinkers and early to mid-century forebears who lived through the Great Depression and the Second World War. Keynesian, Evolutionary, Sraffian and Austrian economists offer different interpretations and solutions to the problems facing the world economy today. An active stream of research and publication exists in these camps, as well as a growing interest in relating macroeconomic issues to the growth of the firm and the respective roles of firms and governments. With an editorial board comprising preeminent scholars from a variety of economic traditions, Modern Heterodox Economics brings together historical and contemporary studies to address the problems facing the world economy from an interdisciplinary perspective.

New Directions in Modern Economics, Edward Elgar ↑

New Directions in Modern Economics presents a challenge to orthodox economic thinking. It focuses on new ideas emanating from radical traditions including post-Keynesian, Kaleckian, neo-Ricardian and Marxian. The books in the series do not adhere rigidly to any single school of thought but attempt to present a positive alternative to the conventional wisdom.

New Horizons in Institutional and Evolutionary Economics, Edward Elgar ↑

Economics today is at a crossroads. New ideas and approaches are challenging the largely static and equilibrium-oriented models that used to dominate mainstream economics. The study of economic institutions long neglected in the economics textbooks has returned to the forefront of theoretical and empirical investigation. This challenging and interdisciplinary series publishes leading works at the forefront of institutional and evolutionary theory and focuses on cutting-edge analyses of modern socio-economic systems. The aim is to understand both the institutional structures of modern economies and the processes of economic evolution and development. Contributions will be from all forms of evolutionary and institutional economics, as well as from post Keynesian, Austrian and other schools. The overriding aim is to understand the processes of institutional transformation and economic change.

New Political Economy, Routledge ↑

New Political Economy is devoted to publishing recently and soon to be completed Ph.D. dissertations in political economy. I am looking for those dissertations in political economy that you as the Ph.D. committee chair or member thought might be especially interesting to and worthy of a wider audience. Dissertations can be either theoretical, empirical, or both. They also may be focused on a particular history or history of thought. I would like to leave the field of political economy, and hence dissertations written under that heading, as broadly conceived, but it is perhaps no secret that I am interested in those works focused particularly on Marxian theory including value analysis, postmodern Marxian analyses, gender studies, and class studies. However, I also want to stress that this series is open to a variety of different perspectives. Dissertations will be considered that do not fall specifically under one or the other of the above topics but are thought by you to be an original attempt to explore some question or issue in the broadly conceived field of political economy. The overall idea of this project is to circulate more widely the best work of your graduate students. The advantages to the graduate student of such a series are a wider circulation of his or her ideas and obviously a book publication in his or her early career.

Perspectives from Social Economics, Palgrave Macmillan ↑

In the current economic, financial, and political climate, recognizing and studying the ethical and social aspects of the economy are more important than ever. Social economics has long emphasized these very aspects, and can provide unique perspectives on issues of critical importance to citizens, businesses, and governments around the world. This series will feature a sharp discussion of the explicit ethical/social components of important policy and social issues, drawing on the varied approaches used by social economists around the world. Through a strong mix of outward-looking books, focusing on the insights of social economics to contemporary policy and social issues, and inward-looking books, focusing on the philosophy and methodology of social economics itself, this series will be of enormous value to both social economists and policy makers.

Real Utopias Project, Verso ↑

The Real Utopias Project embraces a tension between dreams and practice. It is founded on the belief that what is pragmatically possible is not fixed independently of our imaginations, but is itself shaped by our vision. The fulfillment of such a belief involves real utopias: utopian ideals that are grounded in the real potentials for redesigning social institutions. In its attempt at sustaining and deepening serious discussion of radical alternatives to existing social practices, the Real Utopias Project examines various basic institutions and focuses on specific proposals for their fundamental redesign. The books in the series, edited and introduced by Erik Olin Wright, are the result of workshop conferences, at which groups of scholars are invited to respond to provocative manuscripts. The lead essay in each volume lays out the underlying logic of the proposal and is followed by the responses from critics and supporters.

Research Network Macroeconomics and Macroeconomic Policies, Metropolis ↑

Since 1996 the Research Network Macroeconomics and Macroeconomic Policies (RNM) has existed as a platform for analysis, research and discussion of macroeconomic issues. It is primarily based in Germany and Austria but cooperates closely with similar networks in other countries, particular in Europe. The Network is concerned to promote the revival and development of macroeconomic approaches which have tended to be eclipsed since the 1970s, especially in Germany, as a result of the dominance of neoclassical, monetarist and supply-side approaches. The Network aims to be both a platform for discussions about economic theory as well as a forum for economic policy debates: Macroeconomic theory is seen as the basis for policies which aim at high employment, environmentally sustainable growth, price stability, reduced inequality, and the elimination of poverty. In particular, the Network seeks to promote an exchange between competing theoretical paradigms. In the book series, the RNM the annual conference books have been published so far.
