Publishing new research is a vital part of advancing Austrian economics and building the case for a liberal society. That’s why, in addition to writing for the Mises Wire, most of its contributors also do academic work intended to engage the mainstream in economics and add to the knowledge developed by previous generations. It’s this work that provides a foundation for the kind of public writing and analysis we do on this blog.
Mises Wire contributors have a wide range of research interests across economics and the social sciences, and their work has something to offer anyone interested in Austrian economics. If you want to catch up on what they’ve been doing, below is a list of books and articles published by Mises Institute bloggers during 2015. Most of the links are ungated, and apologies to my colleagues if I’ve left anything out.

A major event for Austrian economists this year was the publication of The Next Generation of Austrian Economics: Essays in Honor of Joseph T. Salerno. Joe Salerno has had a profound impact on the development of modern Austrian economics, and this book is a testament to his influence and his many contributions to the Misesian tradition.
