Young Scholars

The deadline for the submission of work for the Young Scholars Seminar has now passed. 

 

ESHET invited young scholars (i.e., those who are working on or have just completed a PhD, regardless of their age) to submit their work to the Young Scholars Seminar to be held on the occasion of the 17th ESHET Conference. 

Six submissions were selected: ESHET will cover travel expenses up to €300, accommodation costs up to €80 per night for three nights and the registration fee. The authors of the selected papers will have 20 minutes each to present the paper and a senior scholar, appointed by the ESHET Council, will discuss it. Papers may be on any topic relevant to the history of economics, and are not restricted to the conference theme. 

The winning submissions were: 

Ariel Dvoskin

  An unpleasant dilemma for contemporary general equilibrium theory
