The Austrian Economics Research Conference is the international, interdisciplinary meeting of the Austrian school, bringing together leading scholars doing research in this vibrant and influential intellectual tradition. The conference is hosted by the Mises Institute at its campus in Auburn, Alabama, and directed by Joseph Salerno, professor of economics at Pace University and academic vice president of the Mises Institute.
Proposals for Papers
Proposals for individual papers, complete paper sessions or symposia, and interactive workshops are encouraged. Papers should be well developed, but at a stage where they can still benefit from the group’s discussion. Preference will be given to recent papers that have not been presented at major conferences. All topics related to Austrian economics, broadly conceived, and related social-science disciplines and business disciplines such as management, strategy, and entrepreneurship are appropriate for the conference. Proposals from junior faculty and PhD students are especially encouraged. The Grant Aldrich Prize of $1,000 will be awarded to the best graduate student paper. Abstracts should be limited to 750 words. All proposals are peer reviewed by the AERC Program Committee. Additional information is here.
Submit your proposal to papers@mises.org by January 29, 2018. Proposals after the deadline will be considered as space permits. Decisions will be communicated by February 5.
Besides paper sessions and symposia, the conference includes five named keynote lectures and the awarding of three cash prizes: the Lawrence W. Fertig Prize in Austrian Economics, the O.P. Alford III Prize in Political Economy, and the Grant Aldrich Prize for Best Graduate Student Essay.
