Homo Phileconomicus

ESNIE 2007, the sixth session of the European School on New Institutional Economics, will be held in Cargese (Corsica) from the 21st to the 25th of May 2007.

This school seeks to promote the use of rigorous methods to analyze the economics of institutions and organizations, to provide researchers and decision makers with up to date synthesis on the evolutions of the research program, to develop networking and cooperation among researchers and among their institutions.

It is dedicated to Ph.D. students, Post-docs and researchers in Economics, Management Sciences, Sociology, Law and other social sciences. They will benefit from lectures (every morning) dedicated to the extensive presentation of the state of the art of the discipline on a specific applied or theoretical topic, workshops (afternoon) devoted either to “research questions” or “technical topics”, and seminars (second part of the afternoon) which will enable the attendants to have their work discussed by specialised scholars in the field.
