The European integration process and its institutions have been home to several strands of economic ideas, including Keynesianism and its historical evolutions; the neo-mercantilist school; social-oriented approaches; and market-oriented and neoliberal policy options, to name but a few (Slobodian and Plehwe 2019; Stiegler 2019; Ventresca 2021; Warlouzet 2018; Young 2018). The aim of this conference is to explore the development, circulation, discussion and confrontation of economic ideas that contributed to shape the setting up of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) throughout the second half of the twentieth century.

The Department of Economic and Social History of the Vienna Faculty of Historical and Cultural Studies is looking for a Post-Doctoral researcher to investigate the relationship between the spread of accounting practices and managerial and technological innovations during the 20th century. The position is open to candidates willing to focus on economic or business history or the history of science and technology. Research projects can have different geographical scopes but they must include regions of Europe.

In the last 60 years, the number of tourists in European Mediterranean countries has multiplied exponentially. In these countries, tourism is one of the largest service industries, therefore building a successful, destination brand is of major concern for the economy. It has also, however, societal and ideational consequences. Competing for the same ‘product’ of tourism on a global scale forms a huge part of nation branding. The narrative and imagery of a country’s attractions feeds into the construction and revamping of national identities. In this sense, tourism can become a map to guide our study of discursive, ideational and cultural changes in Mediterranean Europe, particularly in the period from 1945-1989 but also understand the impact of these discourses on cultural identity; for each one of the countries and the history of Southern Europe as a whole. Management and tourism scholars have long investigated the economic and branding implications of this phenomenon, while in recent years, anthropologists and sociologists have discovered the value of the study of tourism. Yet, the historical depth of their approaches is typically quite limited. We are interested in addressing this lacuna in the period from 1945-1990.

We invite contributions for a special issue on “pandemics in world economic history” in the journal “Economics and Human Biology”. If you are interested to participate, please let us know until 30 November; submissions would then be expected until 15 January 2023. Regarding the background, “Economics and Human Biology” is a journal on the relationship between human biology and economic factors with many health economics contributions; about 10% of the contributions are historical studies, mainly on crucial questions related to health, height, and mortality. The impact factor compares very well to the five top economic history journals.

In the economic history working group at the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences, a position as Research Assistant (PhD candidate, or part-time Postdoc) (TV-L E13, 50%) is to be filled on April 1st, 2023 or later. The length of employment is planned to be 3 years.

We are looking for a junior researcher (called “research assistant” in German universities) with a background in economics (empirical economics, economic history, or econometrics), or -- under certain conditions -- similar fields.

Applications are invited for two three-year Postdoctoral Research Fellowships at the Centre for History and Economics in Paris (CHE-P), Sciences Po, starting on 1 September 2023.

The Explorations in Economic History Workshop on Wealth and Income Inequality Around the World will meet in person on Friday and Saturday, October 6-7, 2023, at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
Our goal is to assemble an outstanding set of papers on historical wealth and income inequality around the world. Papers may focus on a single country or on multiple countries. We plan to accept up to eight papers, which would be published in a special issue of Explorations in Economic History in 2024. The special issue will be edited by Karen Clay and Ralf Meisenzahl.

The Fondazione Istituto Internazionale di Storia Economica “F. Datini” and the European School for Training in Economic and Social Historical Research (ESTER) announce their eighth jointly-organized Datini-ESTER Advanced Seminar for economic and social historians on 14th-20th May 2023, in Prato (Italy). The topic of the seminar is “Economic Exchanges”.

The topic of the Datini-Ester seminar is closely related to the theme of the congress yearly organized by the "F. Datini" International Institute of Economic History and devoted in 2023 to Alternative Currencies. Commodities and Services as Exchange Currencies in the Monetarized Economies of the 13th to 18th Centuries. The 2023 Datini-Ester seminar will deal with Economic Exchanges. We particularly welcome papers on the exchange of goods and services, on the role of markets, monies, trade, transaction costs and institutional contexts, which might foster market integration or, alternatively, constrain economic performance. Our purpose is to clarify the role of economic exchange and markets in past economies. Papers can cover any relevant aspect and any period from Antiquity until today.

Extended deadline abstracts 15 November 2022.
