University of Cape Town

CEAR is a proud sponsor of this year's International Network for Economic Method (INEM) conference held in Cape Town, South Africa. INEM seeks to promote links among economic methodologists, economists in all fields, and scholars in cognate disciplines. CEAR's Director, Glenn Harrison, will be facilitating a panel discussion on Methodological Issues in Statistical Analysis for Policy Risk Assessment. Participants in that panel will include Nancy Cartwright, Glenn Harrison, Edward Leamer, and Nat Wilcox.

Call for Papers

Proposals for contributed papers as well as symposia (of three papers each) are welcome in all areas of philosophy of economics and economic methodology, including ethical aspects of economics and the foundations of rational choice theory. Submissions that focus on methodological and philosophical issues related to poverty, inequality and development are particularly welcome. We especially encourage submissions from graduate students and members of underrepresented groups. Graduate students whose abstracts are accepted for inclusion in the program will have travel and accommodation (in on-campus residences) expenses, other than airfare, covered by INEM. The deadline for submissions is 30 June, 2015
