>From the Editor

I have just returned from the 2006 EAEPE Conference that was in Bremen,
Germany. There were 250 participants which meant that all the sessions
were quite full-in fact for one session I attended on the history of
economic thought I almost had to sit in the hallway because the room was
so full. Everybody reported that each session had interesting papers and
interesting discussion. Of the sessions I attended I found four papers
that were quite interesting: one was by Dr. Uta-Maria Niederle on
"Institutions as Determinants of Preference Change-A One Way Relation"
(her e-mail address is niederle at econ.mpg.de if you want a copy of it); a
second one was by Dr. Plamen Tchipev on "Is Scarcity an Economic
Concept? An Attempt for an Institutional Analysis" (his e-mail address
is plamen.tchipev at online.bg if you want a copy of it); the third one was
by Dr. Oliver Kessler on "Risk, Contingency, and Crisis" in which he
presents a very interesting discussion of radical uncertainty (his
e-mail address is oliver.kessler at uni-bielefeld.de if you want a copy of
it); and the fourth paper was by Jochen Hartwig on "On Misusing National
Accounts Data for Governance Purposes" (his e-mail address is
hartwig at kof.gess.ethz.ch if you want a copy of it). Finally, there was
the conference dinner in which there was such carrying on that I and
many others did not leave until past midnight. Next year the EAEPE
Conference will be in Istanbul. It should prove again to be a very
exciting heterodox economics conference not to mention access to great
Turkish food.

 

At this year's ASSA meetings in Boston, ICAPE (the International
Confederation of Associations for Pluralism in Economics) will once
again sponsor a cooperative booth to display materials from the broad
array of organizations currently affiliated with ICAPE.  

 

As always, the booth will be staffed by volunteers from the heterodox
economics community.  If you are coming to Boston and would like to
participate in this collaborative effort, please look at the schedule
below and let Rob Garnett (r.garnett at tcu.edu) know which time slot(s)
you would like to cover. 

 

Let him know, too, if your organization would like to display materials
at the ICAPE booth (informational pamphlets, calls for papers, sample
journals, and so on).  Booth space is available to ICAPE affiliates
only.  If your group is not yet affiliated with ICAPE but would like to
display materials, or if you would like more information about the goals
and activities of ICAPE, he will be happy to answer any questions you
may have.  

 

Please consider investing a couple of hours in this important display of
support for a more pluralistic economics.  (ICAPE_Volunteer.doc
