The Association for Evolutionary Economics (AFEE) is an international organization of economists and other social scientists devoted to analysis of economics as evolving, socially constructed and politically governed systems.  AFEE publishes the Journal of Economic Issues (JEI). AFEE also has a discussion list that is usually very active that you can sign up for here AFEEmail.

The intellectual heritage of AFEE is that of the Original Institutional Economics (OIE) created and developed by early twentieth-century economists such as Thorstein Veblen, John R. Commons, and Wesley Mitchell. Over recent decades, this legacy has evolved to address such contemporary issues as:

  • The role of diverse cultures in economic performance.
  • Domestic and international inequalities of income.
  • The roles of social, economic and political power in shaping economic outcomes.
  • Globalization and the increasing weight of multinational corporations in the international economy.
  • The need for expanding use of modern technologies to relieve want.
  • The urgent need to for awareness of the impact of new technology on the biosphere.
  • The ways in which economic thought is affected by and affects always changing economics.
Presidential Letter

April 18, 2012

Dear AFEE Colleague:

Let me first thank everyone who contributed to the successful meetings in Chicago including the presenters, chairs, discussants, and session organizers – and all who attended the sessions.

I would also like to thank last year’s President Janice Peterson for her excellent address, and for her contributions to Institutional Economics and to AFEE. And I thank our Veblen-Commons Award winner Geoff Hodgson and our Street Scholar Luiz Carlos Bresser Pereira for their fine presentations in Chicago. I am very grateful to our Secretary Eric Hake and to our Treasurer Dave Zalewski for their support of AFEE as an organization, not least in bringing me up to speed on my duties. And I thank my assistant here at the University of Texas, Felicia Johnson, for her work on the Chicago program.

President-Elect Phil O'Hara has sent out the Call for Papers for the 2013 annual meeting to be held at the ASSA meetings in San Diego, CA, January 4-6, 2013. The theme of next year’s conference is “Financial Crises, Debt Crises and Deep Recessions: Institutions, Policies & Strategies for Sustainable & Equitable Recovery” Those interested in participating as a presenter, chair or discussant should send the information requested in the Call for Papers to Phil (gperu.ohara@gmail.com) by April 20, 2012 . I apologize for the late date of this letter.

Finally, please renew your membership in AFEE. The organization needs you. Enough said. The Appendix to this letter contains information on current AFEE committees. ( Click here for the Appendix. ) I call your attention to the following committees with upcoming deadlines:

Association for Evolutionary Economics (AFEE)

Call for Papers & Sessions

Annual Meeting, AFEE at ASSA San Diego, 4-6 January 2013

Financial Crises, Debt Crises and Deep Recessions Institutions, Policies & Strategies for Sustainable & Equitable Recovery

AFEE invites proposals for individual papers and complete sessions on this theme, for consideration at the AFEE at ASSA meetings. Many nations, especially in Europe, are still in protracted economic and financial crises and recession, while some, such as the US, have managed very tentative recovery. Some nations, such as China and India, managed to escape the full brunt of the crisis and recession: Why? The causes and symptoms of the crisis are still being investigated. Some policies have had some beneficial impact, while policy makers and scholars continue to debate the best course of action. What about the next bubble and crash? How can such instability and uncertainty be prevented? What speculative sectors will likely be involved in the next financial crisis and recession?
