> The year 2000 marks an importing milestone in the history of
> economics
> (and the human race), the commencement of the second century of
> Institutional Economics. AFIT, a national organization dedicated to
> advancing the discipline of economics from an Institutional
> Economics
> perspective, thus will have as its primary theme for this years
> conference: 1) accessing the first hundred years of Institutional
> Economics (successes and failures); and 2) directions for the
> future.
> Moreover, as Institutionalists are, by and large, a practical lot
> (except when it comes to arranging dinner reservations at
> conferences)
> interested in policy questions, particular emphasis will be placed on
> the policy aspects of the past and future of institutional economics.
> There will be a particular emphasis on poverty issues, but of course
> other topics are welcome.
>
> Another aspect of the practicality of Institutional Economics relates
> to the question of how best to present Institutional Economics to
> our
> students, and once again we would like to organize some sessions
> on
> Pedagogical issues. We also encourage AFIT members to send
> examples
> of their course syllabus that reflect the use of Institutional
> Economics in their classes (these will be collected for wide
> distribution among members). As always, other topics in
> Institutional
> Economics are welcome.
