Join the Department of Economics and Economica for the Perspectives on Economic Theory conference.
The Perspectives on Economic Theory conference is an opportunity for the Economic Theory community to get together and reflect on the past, current and future state of economic theory. Speakers give their personal perspective about theory in the context of different session topics. The talks might be reflections on the past, present or future of economic theory, a critique of economic theory or just the speakers’ own personal journey in the field. Each session will have ample time for a discussion between the participants of the conference.
Organisers: Ronny Razin - HoD, Department of Economics, LSE
