Call for Papers

The 11th Conference of the International Walras Association

Walras’s Elements of Pure Economics 150 years after

Tokyo, September 9–10, 2024

The 11th Conference of the International Walras Association will be held at the Meiji University, Surugadai Campus, Tokyo from September 9 to 10, 2024.

The year 2024 marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of the first book of the first edition of Walras’s Éléments d’économie politique pure (1874-77). In this groundbreaking book, Walras presented a general equilibrium theory in the mathematical form for the first time, ushering in the era of modern economic theory. The conference welcomes papers focusing on the following topics:

  • The current meaning and significance of Walras’s Éléments d’économie politique pure.
  • How Walras’s general equilibrium theory has been interpreted, developed, and disseminated since the publication of the Éléments d’économie politique pure in 1874.
  • The unsolved critical issues surrounding its interpretation (e.g., the role of Walras’s metaphysics and epistemology, the hermeneutic link between Walras’s pure, applied, and social economics, the time structure of his general equilibrium, entrepreneurs and uncertainty, money neutrality, capital theory).
  • The significance of the Marginal Revolution. The key differences among Jevons, Menger, and Walras that warrant contemporary attention.

This conference also serves as a tribute to Donald Walker (1934–2023), a historian of economic thought and the founder of the International Walras Association, commemorating his tremendous contributions to the study of Walras. Therefore, we especially welcome proposals of papers focusing on Walker’s studies.

Proposals for papers on any aspect of Walras’s economics (applied and social economics) are welcome.

An abstract within 300 words (in English or French) should be submitted by clicking here, latest by February 9, 2024. Notifications of the acceptance of papers will be sent in March 2024.

Full papers must be submitted by July 31, 2024. We accept English and French papers; but if you are submitting a French paper, please present your paper at the conference in English or prepare your presentation materials in English.

Details of the conference will also be announced on the website of the International Walras Association (https://wp.unil.ch/walras/)

The conference will be co-hosted by La Société Franco-Japonaise des Sciences Economiques and Department of Economics, School of Political Science and Economics, Meiji University. It will be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Economic Theory and Policy to be held at the same location starting on September 11.

A Tokyo Bay cruise dinner is planned on September 10.

間もなく刊行 Léon Walras’s Economic Thought : The General Equilibrium Theory in Historical Perspective (Routledge)

私の著書 Léon Walras’s Economic Thought :The General Equilibrium Theory in Historical Perspective(レオン・ワルラスの経済思想: 歴史的視点からの一般均衡理論)が、Routldgeより12月5日に刊行されることが決まりました。詳しくはこちらをご覧ください。Amazonでも予約が開始されました

 本書は、私のこれまでのワルラス研究の集大成です。1998年に出版した日本語の著書『ワルラスの経済思想』(名古屋大学出版会)とタイトルは似ていますが、内容は全く異なっており、主に2016年以降に発表した論文が元になっています。経済学史にとどまらず、社会科学の様々な分野の研究者や学生さんたちに読んでいただけることを希望しています。

My book, Léon Walras’s Economic Thought: The General Equilibrium Theory in Historical Perspective, will be published by Routledge on December 5th. You can find more information here. Pre-orders are also available on Amazon.

This book is the culmination of my research on Walras. Although the title is similar to my previous book in Japanese, “ワルラスの経済思想” (Nagoya University Press, 1998), the content is completely different and is mainly based on the papers I have published since 2016. I hope it can be read by researchers and students in various fields of social sciences, not just the history of economics.
