Call For Papers - The Erasmus Journal for Philosophy and Economics
(EJPE) - http://ejpe.org
EJPE is a peer-reviewed biannual academic journal publishing research
which improves our understanding of the methodology, history and
inter-disciplinary relations of economics. EJPE is supported by the
Erasmus Department of Philosophy and the Erasmus Institute for
Philosophy and Economics (EIPE) and is an open access journal.
EJPE aspires to:
· publish high quality and interesting contributions to the field of
philosophy and economics.
· provide a forum for inter-disciplinary content and approaches that is
particularly friendly to Young Scholars (graduate students and recent
PhD graduates), supported by an efficient and constructive peer review
process.
Call For Papers
Research domains
(1) Methodology of economics
Issues falling within the analytical philosophy of science tradition
including the methodological analysis and appraisal of the concepts,
theories and techniques of economics, both mainstream and heterodox.
Contributions on methodological issues in evolutionary and institutional
economics are particularly welcome.
(2) History of economic thought
Issues in the historical development of the ideas, theories, and methods
of economics.
(3) Inter-disciplinary issues relating economics to other fields
Issues arising from non-traditional sources of critique and
investigation of economics, including, for example, literature; ethics;
sociology; political philosophy; continental philosophy; rhetoric. (Such
contributions will have a clear connection to economic issues and
involve conceptual rather than purely empirical analysis.)
