The Philosophy & Economics program at the University of Bayreuth, with support by the International Network for Economic Method (INEM) is delighted to announce that the 17th Biennial INEM Conference will take place in Bayreuth, September 17th-19th, 2025. The conference website can be found here.
We welcome proposals for contributed papers and symposia in all areas of the philosophy and methodology of economics. We particularly encourage submissions that combine philosophy and methodology of economics with other perspectives on studying economics offered, for instance, by history and sociology of economics, decision theory, ethics and political philosophy, as well as submissions in Africana philosophy and economics, social ontology, feminist approaches and postcolonial approaches. Contributions by early career scholars and from outside Western Europe or the US/Canada are particularly encouraged. A limited number of remote presentations can be accommodated. Speakers at the conference will be eligible to submit their full papers to a special issue of the Journal of Economic Methodology.
Keynote Speakers
Wendy Carlin (University College London)
Katherine Furman (University of Liverpool)
Richard Pettigrew (University of Bristol)
