Presentation
We do not, helas, live in a world where Arrow, Rawls, and Sen can give a joint seminar to graduate students, as they did in 1969. However, the pioneering work of this “trinity”, among many others, has inspired the creation of a productive area of academic enquiry which is at the intersection of economics and philosophy. This combination of economics and philosophy has proved to be powerful and fruitful for both disciplines, while also having some claim to constituting an academic discipline in its own right. But what, right now, is at the frontier of research that is taking place at the intersection of economics and philosophy?
Frontiers of Economics and Philosophy is a conference that aims to address this question. More specifically, the conference aims to bring together scholars at various career stages who are working at the intersection of economics and philosophy to share their research with each other.
This event is organized as part of the “Economics - Philosophy” project of the Opening Economics initiative.
The Opening Economics Chair allows economists to respond in creative and effective ways to the major questions of our times, by integrating two observations: that current challenges, complex and multifaceted as they are, demand an approach that transcends disciplinary boundaries, and that economics research must be renewed by advances made in other related disciplines.
