12^th (2016)

International Keynes Conference*

The World Economy and Keynes: Past and Present

September 6 (afternoon) and 7

Sano Shoin,

Hitotsubashi University

The main purpose of this conference is to deepen our understanding of the world economy (past and present) in relation to Keynes’s influence and Keynesianism, which have been influential from the early 1920s up to the present day. It will be discussed in terms of the history of economic thought and economic theory/policy. We will sincerely welcome the collaboration between the two fields of economics.

  This conference is composed of two areas.

(i)  The world economy: past and present.

(ii)  Keynes’s influences from various points of view such as history, and economics.

In this conference, economists with diverse backgrounds are invited to contribute his/her paper. We are sure that this project should be a great opportunity to study, examine, and discuss the above themes.
