2025年5月22日から24日までイタリアのトリノ大学で開催されるEuropean Society for the History of Economic Thought（ESHET） 第28回年次大会に参加することになりました。”Rethinking Kirzner’s Critique of Walras: Competition”（カーズナーのワルラス批判再考： 競争、アントレプレナーシップ、そして正義）という論文を発表します。プログラムはこちらです。この論文は、現在進行中の科研費プロジェクトの研究業績の一部です。ワルラスと新オーストリア学派の関係については、実は学部生時代からずっと考え続けてきましたが、長い年月を経てようやくその成果を論文にまとめることができました。またESHETの大会に参加するのは、パンデミックの前の2019年のリール大会以来6年ぶりです。多くの研究者たちと再会できることを心から楽しみにしています。

I will be participating in the 28th Annual Conference of the European Society for the History of Economic Thought, which will be held at the University of Turin in Italy from May 22 to 24, 2025. I will be presenting a paper titled “Rethinking Kirzner’s Critique of Walras: Competition, Entrepreneurship, and Justice.” The program can be found here. This paper is part of the research outcomes of an ongoing Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research project. I have been thinking about the relationship between Walras and the Neo-Austrian School since my undergraduate days, and after many years, I am finally able to present the results of this research in a paper. This will be my first time attending an ESHET conference since the 2019 conference in Lille, six years ago, before the pandemic. I am truly looking forward to reconnecting with many researchers.

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.
