Association for Heterodox Economics

 

2^nd Post-Graduate Training Workshop

 

“Getting From Hypotheses to Conclusions:

Advanced Methods for Pluralist and Interdisciplinary Economics Research”

2002

 

The workshop is to be held December 9^th, 9 am to Dec. 11^th 2 pm and will be held at:

 

Chancellors Conference Centre

University of Manchester             -- subsidised for eligible PhD students in years 2-4!

                                                            For those eligible, subsidy includes B&B&Evening Meals&Travel

                                                            Each person still has to pay 25 pounds though.

Invited speakers include Vicki Chick, Steve Fleetwood and others as well as two international speakers

Steve Fleetwood has confirmed that he will speak on ‘How (not) to do causal explanation in labour markets’, with reference to recently published work of his in Review of Social Economy and other work.

Workshop facilitators include Wendy Olsen and are likely to also include other active members of AHE in the UK/Ireland.

 

A Workshop handbook consisting of papers by all the presenters and more will be given – last year it ran to two volumes.

The workshop will have discussion, Q&A, seminar, and practical components including:

 

• specialist applications of advanced statistical skills, notably linking-up a statistics package with interview transcript data;
• specialist applications of advanced qualitative skills, notably grounded theory and discourse analysis;
• developing the capacity for originality as well as social worth and policy relevance in economic research, which will in turn have knock-on effects on pedagogy and on the ability to apply the learning that takes place during the PhD.
• encouraging researchers to work within a context of methodological and theoretical triangulation

Social theorists, realists, feminists, marxists, post-keynesians, empirical researchers, and all others who consider themselves under the umbrella of heterodoxy are welcome to the workshop.  For a list of 650 people who have signed up to a statement favouring heterodoxy over orthodoxy, please see the website of the Post-Autistic Economics Review.
