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:

AFEE 2012 Board Elections
October 31, 2011
Dear AFEE Colleague,
The slate of candidates is now set for the election of next year’s officers and new board members. In addition to beginning the vote, I would like to share some details about the upcoming conference.
We encourage everyone to submit their ballot online. If you experience any problems submitting your ballot, please contact the association coordinator Teresa Rowell at coordinator@afee.net. If you prefer to submit a paper ballot, these can be printed from the website or requested via email.
AFEE President Elect James Galbraith has put together a great program for Chicago 2012. The conference program is posted on our website. I would like to draw your attention to several special events that AFEE is hosting.
This year’s winner of the Veblen-Commons Award is Geoff Hodgson. Professor Hodgson is widely known for his extensive work on institutional economics, and his numerous contributions to heterodox economics and social theory. We hope you will join us at the V-C Luncheon honoring Dr. Hodgson on Friday, January 6, at 12:30 – 2:15pm in Swissotel Room Montreaux 2. Details about making reservations will be provided to the membership soon.
The James H. Street Scholar Award for 2012 goes to Professor Luiz Carlos Bresser-Pereira. Bresser-Pereira was the Brazilian Minister of Finance, Minister of Federal administration and State Reform, and Minister of Science and Technology. He is emeritus professor of the Getulio Vargas Foundation, where he teaches economics, political theory and social theory.
The AFEE membership meeting is open to all members of AFEE and provides a report from the board of directors as well as the opportunity for general discussion about AFEE business and the interests of its members. While there is no set agenda and we take announcements from the floor, please feel free to contact me (erhake@catawba.edu) if there is an issue you would like to discuss/consider bringing to the membership’s attention. The membership meeting is on Friday January 6th in the Swissotel room Montreaux 1 from 4:45 to 6:00pm.
AFEE President Janice Peterson will be giving her address, “The Great Crisis and the Significance of Gender in the US Economy,” on Saturday January 7th in the Swissotel room Montreaux 1 from 4:45 to 6:00pm. Please join the membership after her address for the no-host cocktail party.
If you are planning to attend theChicagomeetings January 5-8, 2012, we remind you to please register for the conference and the hotel if you have not already done so. As many of us have learned, the AEA’s block of rooms at the Swissotel sold out shortly after reservations opened in September. They did get another block of rooms, which also sold out in short order.
Information about conference and hotel registration can be found at http://www.vanderbilt.edu/AEA/. Information about the AFEE conference program and links to the AEA website are also available at our website www.afee.net.
I hope to see many of you in Chicago.
Sincerely,
Eric R. Hake, Secretary

Dear AFEE Colleagues:
As many of you know, UNITE-HERE (representing hotel workers) has asked ASSA participants to boycott certain hotels (including the Hyatt Chicago, the ASSA headquarters hotel) during the ASSA 2012 meetings in Chicago. After considering the information and recommendations from a special committee convened to advise the board on this issue, the Board voted to formally request that the AEA/ASSA not schedule any AFEE sessions in one of the boycotted hotels, and to create an alternate registration site. In response to this request, the AEA/ASSA agreed not to schedule any AFEE sessions in one of the boycotted hotels. In addition, if the dispute with the Hyatt has not been resolved by January, the AEA/ASSA will have an alternate site for PRE-REGISTERED participants to pick up their materials. On-site registration will, however, continue to take place in the Hyatt.
Best regards,
Janice Peterson
